    sir valskie, baka sira yung alternator mo, dalin mo sa dealer kse kung 3 months palang yan, cguradong under warranty pa yan.

    nde yan battery kse, battery is just for starting the car, kung umandar na yung kotse yung alternator na yung nagsusupply ng power sa kotse. ngayon pag sira yung alternator sa battery kukuha ng power yung kotse instead na sa alternator kaya yung battery dahan dahan nadidischarge hanggang mamatay yung makina.

    "NEVER" pull out the battery terminal while the car is running... maling way to ng pag check ng charging system( pasensya na dun sa nag post) thats a good way to really break your alternator....

    pero the best way pa din is to bring it to the dealer for them to diagnose the problem

    the casa was right. it's the battery, not the alternator.

    always keep in my that when the BATTERY LIGHT IN YOUR DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP it means your ALTERNATOR HAS A PROBLEM. If it doesn't light up and your car wouldn't start, most of the time it's the battery.

    Even if the car is only 3 months old, the battery might be an old stock from the supplier (e.g. Outlast). There is really no way to find out. At least they warranty it starting from the day you take delivery of the vehicle, not the production date of the battery.

    I think battery talaga ang problema. akala ko kasi maintenance free yung battery ko and for 3 mos hindi ko ito nilagyan ng distilled water ayun pag check ko konti nalang water kaya cguro ito nasira . buti nalang pinalitan ng casa.

    for 3 months nabawasaan ang water ng battery mo,try mo din pa check ang Voltage regulator mo,

    more than six months na battery ko noon di pa din nag babago ang level ng tubig sa battery

    mga sirs. singit nalng d2.

    i have a simmilar problem din.

    kaninang lang ng umalis ako ng bahay, paglabas ko ng subdivision tumigil ko sandali pinatay ko makina. wala pang two minutes, i tried starting pero ayaw na. napansin ko din na sometimes sobrang hina to ayaw na gumana busina kahit na umaandar makina pero intermitent bumabalik sya tas nawawala ulit, di k naman napansin sa aircon at player na kinakapos ng power. btw napansin ko pag ayw mag start mahina yung ilaw sa indicator lights

    based dun sa taas either bat or alternator, pero observation ko

    kung battery bakit ng umalis ako ok naman then pinatay ko lanbg sandali ayaw na mag start?

    kung alternator bakit apektado busina at bakit nung napandar na (tulak) nag rev rev lang ako for about mga 10 mins ok na naman sya.

    posible ba na madischarged yung baterya ko kahit na umaandar makina.

    dagdag pa dont know kung significant. twice na akong napundihan ng ilaw nitong last week lang at lagi na ako namamatayan ako ng makina pero nag statart naman ulit. all this problem started pala ng pinatngal ko fog lights. di pa nababalik hanganag ngayon.

    tnx. in advance

    Pa check mo electrical wiring mo baka may ground. Main suspect yung wiring ng fog lights.
