Anybody here who got his battery replaced within warranty period?

[valvura]

I bought my battery last October 2008 at it got a 15-month warranty. Unfortunately, ayaw ng magkapagstart and I got it charged this pm doon sa binilhan ko (babalikan ko bukas). Gusto ko itong pa-replace pero parang mahirap na ma-prove na battery defect kasi sasabihin nila na alternator defect pero malakas naman ang mga lights at accessories after mag-start. Napansin ko sa tester ko, 10+ volts lang battery pero sa tester ng dealer 12 volts pa raw. May daya kaya mga tester nila?

Bago rin yung alternator ko, bought last March kasi yung luma umuugong pero ok pa charging. Pinalitan kasi may cracks na ang casing na cause daw ng ingay (nagsimula nang madaan sa tidal flooding sa bulacan). OK rin according sa dealer ang new alternator per their tester (na questionable rin). Nanghihinayang naman ako kung bibili ng bagong battery.

Any comment will be highly appreciated.

TIA

Madali naman ma-prove na battery may problema.

Pag nilagyan ng ibang battery ang car mo at nag-start, obvious na.

Tapos, they can also check the charging power of the alternator kung sapat pa. Since bago yan, im pretty sure slim ang chances na alternator mo may problem.

Since it's pretty logical na yung battery ang problema, you SHOULD DEMAND for a replacement since under warranty yan which effectively is a contract between two parties (merchant and buyer).

I've had my car battery replaced before the warranty because it was showing signs of low power during starts in the morning. I just brought my car to the battery shop where I bought it and they gave it a test with their tester (something more complex than a simple voltage tester). They gave me a "service" battery for a few days so they could do some tests with my battery. After a few days, they said my old battery was already defective and will be replaced under warranty.

No big hassle.

BTW, my car also has it's own accurate voltage meter so I could double-check what voltage they would report to me.

anong brand yan bro? don't be fooled for pakarga-karga remedy ng mga battery dealer. style nila yan until maubos ang warranty. tell them kung may problema alternator, weeks palang after you bought their battery patay na yan. papalitan mo ng bago kahit until mag 15 mos. then tsaka mo pa-check ang alternator charging.

Sa akin Motolite Excel...yung kulay green, wala pa isang taon, ayaw mag start, tumawag ako sa free road side assistance ng Standard Insurance, ang bilis dumating agad nag jump start, dinala ko kaagad sa shop na binilihan ko(nakalimutan ko yung pangalan) sa may Pasong Tamo near corner Dela Rosa St. Makati, may tester siyang dala, sabi sira talaga battery, kinuha lang warranty card and receipt, no questions asked, palit agad bago may lola at binata apo niya yata yun e, galing ng service, hanapin ko yun pangalan ng shop

No hassle, my battery was replaced. they picked it up in my place then after a few days, received a new one. just made a follow-up call though.
