These batteries use same technology. Chloride Exide is an experienced Kenyan company, and they have 1year warranty. Buy Kenyan, and sustain jobs locally.
NB: By the way, they really do a good job of buying old batteries to recycle lead, hence boost on environment.

Beware, some of the current Chlorides are recycled and will disappoint you - no wonder they ask you to deliver your old batteries at a fee so that they can recycle them.

Go ONLY for the black MF from CE not the white CE with a red top - I had one white CE which failed after 8 months, I replaced with a black MF and it served me 2+ years. Both were sourced direct from CE offices.

I then got Amaron (the green one) from the main supplier along Lunga Lunga Rd and it has served me for 3 years now - going to the forth one.

They are quite good batteries.

Anyway @SonOfGod you requested for information, we give you, you decide.
Oxide chloride do not manufacture maintenance free batteries.
They use Atlas.
