Is My Battery Nearing Its Death?

[suysuy]

I have this motolite in my honda city 2006. nag 3 years na siya this feb. feeling ko malapit na siya mamatay.

kasi kapag gagamitin mo radio hindi naka on, as short as 15 minutes lang diskarga na agad. At if naka park lang then kahit the next day lang, mahina na ang pagstart. On the brink of not starting at all. The dashboard gets dim and 5 secs pa bago maistart. kapag fail to start ka, ayaw na mag crank ulit the next time iattempt mo istart. kelangan pa magpaboost.

i noticed also that, it has a somewhat moist body. wala namang sulfates sa terminal, pero may konting basa basa sa gilid at mga crystals at napansin ko rin nangalawang yung lalagyan ng battery. Is it possible may leak ito?

tsaka may mga battery ba na mas malakas? in terms of amps? maliit kasi batterya nito. the smallest type ive seen compared sa ibang sasakyan namin dito. gusto ko sana mag upgrade ng battery if ever papalitan na siya kaso baka hindi kakasya.

suggestions?

3 years nasa end of life na battery mo.

Palitan mo na. If you want a bigger batt., siguraduhin mo lang na kakasya ya lalagyanan. Sukatin mo rin ang height pata hindi tatama sa hood.

Make sure wala kang electrical drain. Check mo yung fusebox mo kung may live connection ka maski naka off lahat. Dapat wala.

wala ibang elec drains. naka off lahat talaga. napansin ko lang nag dedegrade na talaga yung capacity niya. and whats weird is that, if drained siya and then charged for 5 minutes (engine on) then off mo, nakakastart na agad siya. it's like it is loosing CCA or capacity to provide high amps. pero tumatagal talaga siya kapag radyo lang naka on. pero hindi na siya nakaka provide ng starting power
