Panasonic Car Battery WTF??
 

I posted this under the Car Electronics, but after pulling my factory battery from my 2001 ES to replace with a bigger one, I noticed on the sides of the stock battery reading "PANASONIC." I know they made microwaves, home and car audio, speakers, alarm clocks, and now car batteries?!?!?!:wtf:

:shift: MisterT :shift:

:crook:

I had a Panasonic battery stock in my car and just replaced it a few months back.
I believe the battery in My brother's 90 Miata was also a Panasonic and it lasted for 12 years.

Energizer makes car batteries, too. I had one in my Escort.

Do YOU have the bunny inside? :D

I just had no idea Panasonic made car batteries! If only some one had a camera when I saw the name. :cookoo: I had a time getting to shut the stupid factory alarm up. I kept hitting the unlock <disarm> button and nothing happened, so I had to put keys in the ignition and hit the ghost switch. Now the whole apartment complex hates me and knows that I have a new battery :eek: Luckily no one was home except some little hottie across the street wondering what tha hail is he doin'?! :) Nothing more annoying and embarrassing at the same time than a horn blasting for what seemed to be eternal, blasting "CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP!"
:D

I think my A/C compressor says panasonic on it.... they make all kinds of stuff. My distributor says mitsubishi. .. etc.

The SPACE DUDES are back!!! LOL That pic is funny as hell!

My dad told me that Ford used to make TV's .
I've seen excavators and Backhoes made by Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Hitachi.
Daewoo makes cars and electronic devices......... Thats about all I can think of.

Anything made by Mazda?? I took the alternator apart and found a fried hamster on wheel that stopped spinning. No wonder my lights dim when the bass hits!:eek: Mitsubishi is another company that makes every thing, TVs, cars, one of the largest banks I think in Japan. Hell the owner must have more dough than Donald Trump!;)

It's just funny. Those helmets look huge in that car. Maybe it's the sedan, I don't know. ;)

LOL! Maybe I'm an idiot... but what do those instructions do ? :p

edit: nah, don't bother... just it's been a while since I looked at assembly :cookoo:

they try to make him comprehend that our first gens rock his world ;)

Eli Lilly, who now makes Prozac, used to make aircraft propellers. Businesses go through some strange transformations.

He could write it in Japanese and still I wouldn't understand it.

:D
MisterT

Poor guy probably got depressed just making aircraft propellers. It gets old after a while, so then he found Prozac! :rofl:

in that case, i don't know if i want to know where pfizer came in to play with viagra!:p

MisterT

look carefully in your engine bay, look for the diamond star motors insignia on tiny black caps. i SWEAR, it's on there.
peace

Daimond star as in Mistubishi? :eek:

I know the mitsubishi logo is on my distributor...

But that's not all
 

All the buttons in the new Mazda 3 are a Panasonic design, they ALL have the same click behind them also our air conditioner compressor in Mazda is Panasonic as well as the user interface for the audio system if you click on the "about software". I'm not sure I would be too worried as my mom's clock radio from the really 70s lasted into the 90s and the microwave oven lasted 27 years, our Panasonic tv outlasted it's usable life so I'm not sure this is really a bad thing. Do you think we're doomed?
