    Hi All,

    Bumili ako last 2 months ago ng new motolite battery then now all of a sudden biglang na-discharge as in at na kinailangan ko pang ipa jump-start sa isang taxi. As far as I know wala akong naiwan na bukas (aircon etc). Do I need to call Motolite para macheck nila yung battery ko? May ibig sabihin ba eto biglang pakakadischarge meeting defective battery? Kapag ba di nagkakarga yung car mo ng power sa battery dapat mag red yung battery indicator?

    Thanks po sa lahat ng sasagot.

    bro, checck mo alternator mo. baka naman palyado na ang alternator mo. kasi, kung bago battery mo at nadischarge agad, dun na ang problema. hindi na kumakarga ang alternator mo. punta ka na ng trusted electrical shop at ipaayos alternator mo. ang battery mo naman, eh hindi pa yan sira, hopefully...

    Ipa check mula alternator to the battery. puwede kasi ang voltage regulator ang may problem or fan belt kung saan naka connect ang alternator.

    before messing around with your car's alternator/ electricals, pa-check mo na lang muna yung battery mo. Baka naman maluwag lang yung terminals ng battery mo kaya hindi nagkakarga. Are you still experiencing hard start-ups? Dalhin mo na lang dun sa binilhan mo, may mga tester naman sila doon to properly diagnose your issue.

    Ganun din ang car ko (Toyota Corolla 97 GLI A/T), nagpalit kami ng battery last October 2008 at motolite na puti ang pinalagay, then last month lang na discharge na at need na namin pa jump start at madalas na. Pinacheck ko yung alternator, at no load sia yung voltage reading is 12 at kung may load (AC,ilaw at car sterio) nasa 11.6 na lang at kahit mag hi rev ako ganun pa din. So pinapalitan ko yung alternator ng surplus yun, at no load nasa 13.8 and at full load nsa 13. After 3 weeks bumalik na naman ang sakit, pinacheck ko yung alternator ok naman, now pupuntahan ko na yung dealer ng motolite para pa check ko na yung battery nila.
    Salamat, balitaan ko kayo.

    Thanks sa mga advise. I'm bound to go to Motolite Espana this Thursday hopefully battery lang and hindi alternator ang problem. TIA

    I went to motolite espana ang sabi sa akin mahina daw karga ng alternator. at no load 11.9V lang sya instead of 12.xV. Ibig sabihin ba nito kailangan ko na magpalit ng alternator or magagawa pa yung ganitong problem? Usually ba magkano ang alternator both OEM and surplas? So far di naman ako nahirapan mag-start pero syempre gusto ko may peace of mind ako yun nga lang pagiipunan ko pa panggawa ko nito tsk tsk. Anyway thanks sa lahat ng sumagot sa thread na eto. more power to tsikot!

    pwede naman yata ipagawa ang alternator. at least you can save a certain amount if it's repairable. but if all else fails, dun ka na bumili ng brand new alternator.

    When they tested the no load voltage, is the engine running?

    if the engine is not running, one of the cells of the battery might be dead.

    With the engine running, the voltage should be more than 12 volts, better if more than 13 volts

    sir, 1.7k labor only or including the rotor? Is the rotor you installed brandnew or secondhand?
