    Mag 2 years na battery oto ko and medyo natatakot ako baka matirikan.

    May mga nakikita akong voltometer sa lazada? Anyone here using it? Accurate kaya? Waste of money lang?

    I have 1 for each vehicle. They're fairly accurate and is an adequate piece of tool to determine your car battery's health.

    I suggest you get The 3-in-1 variety (voltmeter, thermometer, & usb charger). It's pretty handy to have in your cabin

    Used to be LED indicators only. I still have a few of them. Very helpful and fended me from impending alternator and battery issues of our rides...

    Then this digital display as described above + Ammeter pa iyan bro for the charging current of the built in usb chargers. 😊

    Bought a bunch of them from Amazon at P250 each iirc. Matagal lang dumating pero, money's worth... One for each of our rides, plus giveaways to friends and relatives....

    Problem lang, - temp is in Fahrenheit... Feeling Istet....😉😉😉

    I suggest na instead of voltmeter yung elm327 na obd2 scanner na lang. for less than 500 sa lazada mas madaming has info na nakukuha. May ganon ako dati sa jazz kaso binigay ko kay mel casaba.

    Search mo Maricel online store sa FB. Remax alien ang brand and model ng voltmeter and USB charger at only 290 pesos!
    Ive been using something similar that I bought from amazon at $8 for 2 of my cars. Sulit sya, mas lalo at super mura sa 290 lang

    Ok din ito. Is it user friendly?

    Yup. Kailangan lang ng app. Mura lang sa app store. Less than 300 ata yung paid app. Yung free ay ok na din.

    Cheaper to just get the 3 in 1 voltmeter with temperature and USB cigarette lighter gadget ...

    Is this normal?

    Pag mga 1 day ko di ginagamit oto and unang pihit ng susi to turn on the engine ayaw, laging sa second try pumapasok. Akala ko tuloy lagi ubos na battery.

    Voltomete showing

    12.4 engine off
    14.6 engine on

    nangyayari lang pag matagal di binubuksan makina.

    Battery is 1 year and 8 months pa lang.

    perhaps something else, and not the battery, is the cause.
    check the starter and solenoid, for two.

    Update ko lang ito.

    Battery 1 year and 10 months (tumagal pa ng 2 months).

    Sobrang hirap na talaga mag start mga nakaka 5 pihit ako ng susi bago bumukas engine.

    Car voltometer from Lazada showing that the battery is normal (12+ engine off, 14+ engine on).

    Pumunta na ako mekanino kasi baka iba sira, they check the battery with battery tester ba yun? Sa kanila ang reading 10+ na lang pag engine off and told me na mag palit na ng battery. Di ako nasa satisfy and punta ulit iba naman mekaniko, same reading, same recommendation, palit batt na talaga.

    Does it mean hindi reliable itong mga car voltometer na ito?

    What if sira starter, can you still jump start it? If not, any other way para ma on engine?

    if the battery still has some power left in it, but not enough to turn a starter, and your car is MT,
    you might still be able to start it, even if you do not charge the battery.
    "push-start", as stock says.
    we were doing it on a regular basis, years ago, when we couldn't afford a new battery.
