    like whistler says, you'll just have to manually reset them.
    no big deal, naman.
    it's nothing a big glass of lemonade won't fix.

    if you have misgivings in disconnecting it,
    you can leave the battery connected to the car.

    after the several months' quarantine, i started my car, whose battery i left connected.
    it started, naman.

    Has anyone used one of those car memory savers?

    ok thanks!

    Would this be okay without any repercussion to the car's electrical components?

    Masyado matagal yan. Ipagamit mo sa piangkakatiwalaan mo. Ang sasakyan dapat ginagamit para humaba buhay. Pag natengga doon nasisira.

    Ito pandemic iniwan ng friend ko mobilio nya sa akin. Ito ginagamit ko grabe katipid. Pag nakafocus ako sa kilometer per liter eh nakaka 17. Pero pag hindi ko tinitingnan eh 14kilometers.

    For a wagon looking car eh napakasulit tapos gaso na tahimik pa.

    Unless you have a built-in indicator for every cell, that single indicator doesn't always tell you the true status of the other cells.

    the indicator window suggests the condition of only that one cell.
    it is not concerned about the other five cells.
    i would still open all the cells to check.

    para siyang rapid antibody test for covid.
    it gives only 17% of the information one needs.

    in the olden days, when voltage regulators were electromechanical and not solid-state,
    we would peer into them battery cells every month.

    perhaps the battery had not yet fully charged, when the engine was shut down.
    it's common enough among predominantly night drivers.

    a home car battery charger is a must, if one's car is an automatic.
    a basic, cheap charger costs less than 2K. i use mine for less than 20 minutes only, to charge the battery so's i can start the car. my next destination would be the battery store. it's convenient for me, as the store is near the workplace.

    for MT cars na hindi diesel,
    "push start" kings, that's us.
