Battery or Alternator Problem?

[sprex]

Hi Guys,

Tulong naman po..

Napansin ko lang na kapag start ko ng car tapos on ko ung mga lights sa mga gauges (speedometer, tachometer, etc.) nad di-dim ung CLOCK nung car. Di naman naka-on ung low-batt indicator tapos nung nag try ako high beam nag shut off yung engine?? (1 beses lang) Problem kaya sa batt or alternator?

Bagong palit pala ung batt ko last saturday..

Thanks,
Chris

May nakita akong tester for battery and alternator sa Concorde Megamall. Di ko lang maalala kung magkano. Pero sure below 400 pesos. Plug in type sa lighter and yung reults ay shown by led lights.

Kung bagong palit lang, check mo kung maluwag yung pagkakabit.

The digital clock dimming feature was with our 95 Corolla para masmadali makita sa gabi (parang ganun) pero kung may iba pang symptoms check the battery and connections first dahil yun ang most recent na nakalikot.

Can this device check if the batt and the alternator are working OK?

since bago pa battery mo..try this. upon turning on the engine for about 5-10min, pull-out mo yung red cable from the battery. pag namatay engine mo, alternator yan. hth

parehas na black ung cable nung car e, alin ba yung red? ung positive or ung negative?

Thanks,

Red is positive. Lagyan mo ng tanda. Paano naging black pareho iyan? hehehe. Baka malito pa mechanics kapag nag-work sa engine mo.

Yes, the clock dims when you turn on the lights. Para hindi nakakasilaw sa gabi.

Try mo yung trick ni puroy. Ganun ginagawa sa mga electrical shops. Make sure hindi ka nakadikit sa body ng car.

Feature pala yung clock dimming? Halos nahugot ko na lahat ng extra wiring sa lights kala ko may short

When my alternator died the batt warning light came on.

When my battery died I couldn't start the car

Yung positive usually may plastic/rubber cap para di tumama ang terminal sa hood or any metallic part ng oto (bad).

Pagsasamahin ko lang ang mga suggestions:

1. check the the battery connections - your car 'can start', with the intermittent battery connection and it can sustain the engine running with just the alternator on. But with your headlights on,- it may stall the engine because the battery is not properly(tightly) connected.

2. as soon as you start the car you may remove the connection to the + terminal of the battery to see the charging capacity of your alternator. Normally, it can support an idling engine.

3. you can check the dc voltage across the battery while the engine is running/idling,- healthy readings are about 13.8v+

Good luck.

di maayos pag kakabit ng battery?

[sprex]

Hi Guys!

Salamat sa quick replies.

I'll try ung mga suggestions later pag uwi ko sa haus and i'l post ung results dito sa forum.

hopefully nothing is wrong sa alternator. Medyo expensive ung replacement eh.

Thanks again peeps!

Madaming beses ko na naencounter ito. Dun sa MB100, had to get a new terminal clamp (the old one was loose).

Sa Montero, nilagyan ng brother ko ng wd40 yung terminals.

Dun sa lumang Sentra, may lamat na pala yung ground wire, ang pangit ng grounding kaya mahina.

Hi Guys,

I was able to fixed na ung problem about the battery, using ung mga suggestions (very helpful ). Yung car ko kasi pag naka hazard, d lang ung hazard lights ang nag b-blink, halos lahat ng ilaw nag b-blink and then pag nag high beam ako nag sa-shut off ung engine.. What i did was, pinalitan ko ung terminal clamp ng battery kasi ung nakalagay, maluwag na pala ang puro kalawang na (stuck na nga ung screw) After replacing ung mga clamps, try ko on lahat (radio, hazard, high beam, lights, aircon) d na nag b-blink.. i turns out na ok na lahat. Kaso busted ata ung isang headlight ko kasi d na sumindi. papapalitan ko na lang un... Useful din ung suggested na battery/alternator analyzer (according dun sa analyzer, OK ung batt and alternator ko)..

Salamat po sa replies, dami ako natututunan sa forum na to.

Thanks ulit sa lahat ng nag reply.

good for you!

hehehe. we got it right sir OTEP.

maraming beses ko na din na experience to.

Hi Guys! Battery problem kaya yung problem ng car ko kasi madali siyang mamatayan at medyo ilang try bago magstart. Nag alternator test naman ako pero di naman namatay yung makina nung tinanggal ko yung red na wire. Yung battery nagtester kame ang nasa 10volts lang. Eto kaya reason why mahina yung head light ko and pagsabay sabay ko on yung aircon, head light and hazard, namamatay yung engine ko.

Hope you could help me guys. Thanks!

Change the battery now, bro.... Voltage across the terminal while engine is off, should be 12V. At 10V, I think 1 cell is dead....

Your battery is dying and needs to be replaced. Normal charge for a good battery is 12-13 volts when engine is OFF. When engine is ON, it should be 13-14 volts.

Palitan mo na battery mo . Malaking abala kung masiraan ka at ma recker pa sasakyan mo dagdag gastos pa iyan.
