Is it battery or alternator?

the battery doesn't just die at the snap of a finger.... it takes time for it to discharge that much.. 30 minutes, 1 hour.. depending on what's on...
i had experience like yours, years ago. ...traced it to a little wire outside the housing (then) that somehow got disconnected..

This is the advantage of having a larger RC. A lower RC would discharge let say in 15min. while a larger RC batteries would discharge twice or even thrice that time.

If my memory serves me right, ang pagkakasabi nya kaya daw nilagyan ng ground (or additional wire) ay dahil sa gawang laguna daw yung alternator or baligtad po...dahil sa hinde gawang laguna ba kaya may additional wire? Kasi yung nakasabay kong nagpatune up that day we have the same car and engine pero walang ganung wire sa alternator nya eh.

Ano po bang alternator ang compatible sa honda...gawang laguna or not?

Pa-check mo grounding mo, baka ground lang. Have your battery terminals checked as well.

Nagpagawa ako dati ng alternator somewhere in Molino. Palit brushes lang. Pagkakaalam ko sa smaller repair shop nagrerepair sila ng alternator. Sa bigger shops, usually recommendation nila palit na.

that alternator with the additional wire has been with your car for some time now, and hasn't really been giving your trouble, right? then i suppose it's compatible with your car..
there are electromechanical parts in the market, that are designed for more than one car or set-up. hence the "additional" wires.. these wires are connectred or left un-connected, as the case may be... but it does need a knowledgeable auto electrician/mechanic to wire it up...
what does gawang laguna mean? i have no idea..

Check connectors muna pag lahat ok ang connection then alternator na yan. Ipafullcharge mo muna battery mo para maibyahe mo pa sa pagawaan.

Ok na po yung car sir. Alternator nga ang culprit, busted na yung rectifier diode and ic regulator. It costs me 2,8k for those 2 parts including the labor. Thanks for the help and inputs.
