    the battery can keep the charge for only a few minutes.
    if you take a quick shower after disconnecting the charger, you won't be able to start the car.

    Once my Motolite dies, I'll try to replace it with Amaron. But I'm having second thoughts, because they only accept cash and only between 8am and 5pm. Paano kung maabutan ako sa gabi at wala akong cash?

    hassle yan eh
    Sa battery ko once ko lang naramdaman yung hard starting then the next time I tried it dead na hahah! Personally I just like to use an object until it dies, not just with batteries pero pati sa phone, tv, laptop etc

    2. ignorance re. the nature of dead battery syndrome.
    doc, isn't that the responsibility of the parents to pay for the maintenance of the car? You can't expect students to have the money to pay for it talaga

    buy a cheap, basic car battery charger. you can get one for less than 2K from the mall.
    if you are stranded within plugging range, it will charge your battery, so's you can drive to the battery store.

    or,
    you can do what my colleague does.
    palit battery every 2 years or so, whatever the condition of the battery.

    is motolite battery delivery available even at night?

    ... for the maintenance of MY car? of course.

    otherwise, para mo nang sinabi na it is the responsibility of the parents to buy their kids a car.

    Probably the cost of new battery and they want to push it till the battery is dead. My car is automatic and I dont want to gamble on that once I felt the starting is a bit off then it is time to replaced with a new one... not unless the problem lies with the alternator.

    I meant if they buy their kids a car, they pay for everything that goes with it (maintenance, gas, insurance etc) I assume you were a student then? Kasi if you are working na then you have the salary naman to pay for it than go through the nightmare of push starting a car for 1 to 2 months

    AT car owners should have a car battery charger...
    having the motolite delivery phone number on one's speed dial is also a very good idea.
