not necessary if you dont modify or add electrical load to your battery.

pero pag pinalakihan mo battery mo coz nagdagdag ka ng electrical load (sounds, alarm, electronic device, etc) you need to upgrade also you alternator para hindi ma undercharge battery mo... dapat maibalik ng alternator yung nawala o na discharge from battery

mamar: observe your battery kung mabilis mag discharge kahit d ginagamit... kc baka ala namang problem sa battery mo ngaun. either kc magpalit ka ng battery w/ the same size kung talagang sira na battery mo ngaun or upsize ka ng battery baka d kaya yung load mo.

wala pang 2yrs ung battery ko kaso un nga lang bihira lang nagagamit ung oto, minsan nga 2 weeks straight hinde na iistart ung oto!

12.8 po pag bago patay ung engine pero after 1min. ng patugtog (mahina lang) nagiging 11 nalang at halos ayaw na mag start!

2 years na pala eh. palitan mo na yan. add to the fact na di ginagamit everyday kaya di nagchacharge regularly. maybe what you can do is replace your batt tapos kapag long stretches na di ginagamit yung car, start one every 3 days for mga 5-10 minutes para makapagcharge siya.

salamat mga bosing tingin ko battery na nga kasi kanin pag park ko nung oto tinaas ko ng sabay sabay ung 4 na window tas nung pag tingin ko sa volt meter mula sa 14 naging 12 nalang tas nung naka taas na ung mga windows dahan dahan nang tumaas ulit ung volts ulit sa 14!

tas napapansin ko din po sa oto ko pag medyo mahina ung battery edi mahirap po mga start tas pag nag start na biglang mag aalar pag ka start nung oto! bakit kaya?

lagi lang po kasi ako busy kya hinde ko pa ma pa check ung oto eh!

I have a similar problem.. On my way home yesterday, the battery indicator turned on. But my car still started when I turned off the engine and started it again. I had it checked today at a Motolite shop in Espana thinking that the battery is the problem, (its already 2 yrs plus old) but the shop told me that it's the alternator that has a problem not the battery. My car is a 96 mitsubishi galant V6 automatic. Can you give me some suggestions?

Where can have it checked?
If in case I need to buy a new alternator how much is a brand new and a surplus?

Thanks !
