    Hi Guys,

    Alam naman natin na ang topak ng automatic cars ay ang battery. Tanong ko lang kung ok ba magdala ng car battery chager habang bumabyahe ka para incase na biglang topakin yung battery ng car mo may pang charge ka or mas maganda na may spare battery ka incase of emergency?

    Advice po salamat!

    Car charger would still need a place to plug it in and takes a few hours before the battery would be charged up, assuming it still takes a charge.

    As for having a spare battery, it would be simpler to have a battery tester and test your battery every month or so. If the performance starts to drop off based on the test, have the battery replaced or checked at the battery shop.

    I have my battery checked every year and so far it has worked well for me.

    Thanks for the fast reply! Akala ko portable yung battery charger yun pala kailangan pang i-plug. You have mentioned a battery tester, Pwede ba dito yung multimeter tester or voltmeter na sinasaksak sa lighter socket? Salamat po ulit

    not really unless you really know what you looking for.

    There is a portable battery pack for jumpstarting a car but it is only good for a limited number of tries before you deplete that battery.

    I drive an automatic tranny car and there are times I have left it for two weeks when I was out of town. It would start up normally when I get back.

    It would be that particular car that would have the problem.

    But you're not alone I guess. My brother used to have OPEL cars that would drain it's battery if it's not used in two days or so.
