Battery humina agad dahil daw laging nakabilad sa araw ang sasakyan?

**CarPainter** · June 18th, 2011 11:52 PM

Mga sir, need some advise how to properly maintain a car battery esp kung laging nakapark ang auto straight from direct sunlight? Sa ofis po kasi ay walang shades na parking at pag dating naman sa bahay, kahit isang puno ay wala din pde paradahan, kaya araw araw literally ay bilad sa init at ulan ang auto. Napansin ko po kasi mejo humina agad battery ko na enduro kahit wala pang 1 year. Nacheck naman po ang mga fuses at alternator ay maayos naman kaya sabi sa electrical shop ay ang pagkakabilad ang possible culprit....humina daw, may ganun po ba?

Tanong ko lang po kung ano ba basic maintenance sa battery para sa mga autong nakabilad lagi sa arawan? Minsan po ay hinde pa nagagamit ang auto for 3 days straight dahil malapit lang naman ang ofis kaya nagkocommute na lang ako.

the heat of the sun acting upon the car is less hot than the engine compartment heat. now, you do the rest of the homework. hotter than ambient temperature which is the engine is normal to the design of the car. sure there are cars with the battery in the trunk(e.g. bmw) and there are some under the floor panel behind the driver, not because of heat but because of space. the cold is more harsh to the battery specially if your battery's electrolyte specific battery is lower than 1.25 or the battery is less acidic and the electrolyte is bound to freeze resulting in a cracked battery case

This is a very lame explanation by the electrician. A relatively new and fully charged battery should last several days ( up several weeks ) even under extreme conditions. My battery which is an oriental low maintenance is turning 4 years this july , never had problems. I'm also parking under direct sunlight mon-fri in the office same as you. It could be that your battery is starting to die or some issues with your electrical wiring where your battery is being discharged.

after 3 days ba hindi na ma-start ang kotse?

Nonesense ang sinaasabi ng electrical shop na yan. My advise is to have your battery checked. Libre yan sa mga battery shops. Best do it while it is still under warranty.

ok lang naman yan kahit pa more than one week pa naka park basta tama ang charging at yung max draw ng electrical systems mo .050 A .

Sir, normally kahit almost 1 week hinde magamit ang auto ay 1 click lang at start agad...pero the past days, unang start ay crank lang then ioff ko na agad ang ignition at di na pinipilit or pinagtatagal pa, but after the 2nd on, mag-start na agad ang makina. Ganun lang lagi sir, no 3rd tries or more...laging max of 2nd try lang at start na ang auto...but sometimes naman 1 click lang. And napuna ko din na minsan parang paos ang busina.

Sir pag ang battery ba pinarecharge mo na ay hinde na tinatanggap sa warranty? At ilang months/years pa ba ang tinatagal ng battery pag nirecharge?

Thanks

basta within warranty period dapat palitan nila yan. recharging is the just the same a your alternator charging your battery. you can have your battery checked sa mga suking battery shops . libre naman yan. they can check if your battery is the problem or your charging system. ilang buwan na ba battery ? yung napapaos na busina, buhay ba yung engine or not. if buhay yung makina, baka may problema na alternator.

**phezthie** · June 19th, 2011 07:49 PM

sure ba na battery talaga ang problem mo TS?

make sure muna na walang problema ang charging system or the electricals specifically yung relays at switch para ma isolate kung ano talaga problem.. minsan pag ganyan case, sa ignition switch lang ang problema, madumi lang..

that way, malaman agad na hindi lang due to sun and naging basis or cause ng problem.... another cent...

Sir, tama ba ang mga nabasa kong posts dito na it takes 1 month or more ang replacement pag binalik sa shop? Mejo may katagalan din po pala kung ganun at 1 month hinde magagamit ang auto, kaya Im planning to just recharge my battery instead na dalhin sa binilihan kong shop sa paranaque na may kalayuan pa sa place ko. Im from bulacan po, dun kasi sa area na un bumigay ang old battery ko last year nung naghatid ako sa airport kaya no choice but to buy a new one around p'que.

Battery is 10 mos old. And regarding sa busina, kasalukuyang bumabyahe ako nung napansin kong parang paos, pero minsan naman ay hinde. TY
