Hi, first of all u must really know the real purpose of having a voltage stabilizer. Many VS out there claims that installing one will improve engine response...the actual fact is...when the VS is installed with the grounding cables, the electricity is more evenly distributed to the whole engine conpartment thus, better engine response due to more efficient distribution of electricity to the spark plugs. You wont really see this effect if ur ride is relatively new.
I have a Pivot Mega Raizin installed in my ride. Initially I really didnt feel the difference and felt cheated at first. But when it comes to checking the battery health, my stock battery lasted me for 2yrs and it was still left with 35% service life when I replaced it. So I personally feel that having a decent VS does prolong battery life and prevents premature failure. Before getting a VS, please check for genuinity!

Eh bro how many point grounding is good??? I dunno how to define how many points then will be good...mine is 9 point grounding. Most important points are engine block, alternator, throttle body, gear box. As long as the parts which requires electricity are covered.

I'm also using Pivot Mega Razin previously. I can say the feature of checking battery health is really good and straight forward. Once you see your cranking voltage starts dropping from 9 to 8 and then 7V, you know it's time to change battery. My lasted until 5.5V before it went dead. I was thinking of waiting for 1 more day to the weekend before changing but unfortunately, the battery give way..

Purple and blue vs. which is good. Any shop to recommend to do grounding?

Blue already obsolete already.
Purple make sure you buy the real one. Alot of replica nowadays.

The car's charging system and rectifying unit converts AC to DC and usually clamps DC to about 14~15VDC - it does it's own "stabilising"...so adding anything else after the rectifier does exactly what ..? .. Don't understand if it really works and as mentioned functions more like a grounding cable? I do add one more cable between battery -ve terminal to my engine block to help starting when the battery life near its end of life which was exactly 30mths before i changed. In fact all my previous cars average battery life crossed the 24mths mark without the need for any add on ..

Electrical current surge can also damage battery and electronic devices over the long run. VS can minimise these surges.

The only "surge" is when the rectifier fails to rectify and regulate the AC to the proper DC voltage, thus overchargeing the battery. Downstream of the battery, voltage surge cannot happen. Current surge downstream is more a short-circuit, demanding more current than is required by the failed equipment, and the inline fuse protects that phenomena. The VS connects across battery terminals or inline between rectifier and battery? Curious to know myself ... Electrical current surge can also damage battery and electronic devices over the long run. VS can minimise these surges.

I'm not an expert in studies in electronics...end of the day is whether if u believe in the product or not...even if u give expert statistics or figures will not deter layman from buying the product. One can be lucky with or without believing in the product or not...when it comes to a failure...one can only blame himself for believing/not believing in the product. It's all out on the market...nobody can force one into buying the product or not. I'm not a salesman for promoting the product...just giving my experience on the use of it. End of the day, its ur investment!

I am curious about some of the claims. Unfortunately, our country's code of advertisement means very little. Anyone can make a claim without the need to back it up. Unethical, unscrupulous behaviour abounds in our entrepreneur culture. This is not about believeing in a product, the principle is the sales material potentially "misleads" buyers. And nothing to protect us ...

Thats why we, consumers should do research and ask ard from end users before investing our hard earned money. Thats how forums come about for people to share and give feedback mah! The advertisement market had all along behaved in this manner. So end of the day is how they convince consumers into buying their product. Our choice to believe or not...

VS has no use. period. there are lots of discussions in this forum on it. a search on it will show how many threads we have had in this forum discussing the effects of VS. of course u can still ask, but a little bit of digging does the same effect too!

Well...useful or not, it comes down to personal experiences with it. My friend's ride batt kept failing every 8mths. Changed twice still the same. I brought him to install mega raizin and his batt lasted till now coming to 2 years. Same brand of batt during replacement. Anyone can explain? Or was it that he was so unlucky to buy 2 QC failed battery consecutively in a row?
