Amaron battery

[dr. d]

a dying battery can keep power for a few hours but not overnight

pwede pa tiisin ung every morning jump start

in the course of the day no need to jump start

dati i put up with that pero now pag hirap na mag start sa umaga pinapalitan ko na

towards the end,
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.

yes kaya bakit paabutin hanggang ganyan

palitan na pag di na kaya mag keep charge overnight

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?

ako din pag naramdaman ko na pahina na ang battery papalitan ko na

i don't get why people still put up with a battery that can no longer keep power overnight

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

1. cost. it is easy to put up with it, if one does not have the money to buy a new battery. as i recall, in our younger years, we would push-start the car for 1-2 months, before finally coming up with the money for a new battery. well... re-built battery. it's cheaper than a brand new battery by a couple of hundred... 200 hundred bucks was already big money back then.

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.

IF po. IF.

i was a student once. i was an NSDB scholar for the longest time. NaSa Daddy ang Bayad.
dad didn't buy me a car.
i commuted.

i purchased my first car with my hard-earned money. it turned out to be an ex-taxi. blessing in disguise, of sorts. i learned a lot of auto-mechanics from that experience.

Oh! I had an older car in college. I learned a lot there also, I spent a lot of my weekends at car shops for wear and tear repairs. Pero that car was carb and not much electronics (manual windows, pawis steering etc) Matapang ako to make kalikot or baklas in that car. With newer cars, I don't even open the hood anymore hahaha

Back to Amaron, thanks to Tsikot, I no longer have to deal with batteries that die one or 2 days after the warranty period I normally stick to brands but glad I made the switch

Maganda yan kaysa sa mga sinaunang jumpstarter na boxy. Pero bakit yung iba ina-advertise yan as Xiaomi?

Effective nga yang mga jump starter. Nung bumigay stock batt ng auto ko nakailang start ako ng auto na ganyan lang ang gamit hanggang sa nakapunta na ako sa Motolite.

Wala na yata 24 hours motolite dahil sa curfew that's according to their website.

Agree ako dito.

Last year, niregaluhan ko anak ko ng Honda City para sa 18th birthday nya, pero lahat ng gastos sa paggamit kotse nya, sya na bahala sa gastos.

Walang trabaho, mag isip sya ng paraan para kumita ng pera [emoji3]

Ang natutunan ko dapat matuto maging independent ang mga anak. Ang magulang gabay lang.

Swerte ni Cathy, libre karamihan ng magulang gastos nya, kaya lang mukhang sa Shopee nya dinadala sarili nya pera hahaha. Peace tayo Cathy [emoji2]

Great point there, sir! You can’t pamper too much your kids and they will just end up spoiled. They

Yes motolite has a 24-hour hotline delivery service na pwedeng credit card (pero 8-5 din yata sa ngayon habang may pandemic). Sana magkaroon din ganito ang Amaron.

nice thing with EFI cars,
they're so reliable. nothing much breaks down.
pag nasira (which doesn't happen often), dala talyer.
so yes, they don't build cars like they used to. they actually build 'em better now.

nice thing with traditional electromechanical, carburator cars.
we can do something to them during weekends.
we used to have a collection of carburator jets of different sizes. we would replace them with varying sizes, to alter their oomph and km/li figures...

and batteries.
we used to make tipid on our dead batteries... replacing only the dead cells or rebuilding the entire battery, via the reliable car battery rebuilder mechanic. it saved us a couple of hundred bucks back then.

don't we wish the country amaron distributor would do something to effect this.
it will probably boost their sales.
