How often should I start my car to prevent my battery from draining?

[travajante]

here's the dilemma cold starts cause the most engine wear i.e. that time when you don't get the oil circulating yet AND the engine temperature isn't optimal yet

idling in the garage generates minimum heat thus it takes a longer time to reach optimal temps

are you sure you wanna do this engine-wearing procedure every week?

wouldn't it be better to remove the battery and take it up w/ you in the condo then hook it up to a float charger? then take out the car for a drive every month or so

the battery technology may be 150 years old,
but the charging technology is more recent.

Mga boss, sana may makasagot po, nalilito na po kasi ako sa iba iba na sinasabi ng mga mekanikong pinagtanungan ko. Tinanggal po ung battery ng honda city 06 (automatic) ko, bago po sya tinanggal wala po akong problem sa sasakyan, very smooth ang takbo. Nung binalik na po ung battery after ng 8hours siguro hindi ko po sya na check agad, after 1 day ko pa sya nagamit at nung ginamit ko po nagkaroon na ng vibration at low speed, may instance na nakatapak ako sa brake then pag release ko hindi sya aandar at may time din na parang nag jejerk sya habang naka full stop or at low speed, dinala ko po sya sa mekaniko at iniscan at nakita na nag nenegative ung idling kaya pinalitan ang spark plugs at ignition coil. ang tanong ko po kung related ba sya sa pagtanggal ng battery kaya nasira? kasi po ok naman sya bago tinanggalan ng battery tapos nung pagbalik ganun na.

salamat po sa makakasagot.

Could have been avoided by just letting it idle for 20mins after putting back the battery. ECU's need to re-learn your throttle body intake...

read the manual

there's a section on re-learning the idle speed

... or the mechanics could've simply cannibalized your vehicle for parts ...

[zechs]

Jerking at idle or low speed? City 06 automatic? CVT issues. Mechanic probably did not do the CVT reset procedure din.

once a week a leave it running for 15 minutes
that's what we do on our seldomly used vehicles

every 15 days for about 5 min running time provided there are no alternator problems

Garage queen is hooked up to the CTEK charger. We're using the DD during the lockdown to contain any possible contamination to one vehicle.

The 2017 Amaron in the DD is still going strong. It went through 2 CTEK reconds already since 2018 and I charge it up about once a month.

The engine will survive even if you don't run it for a month or even longer. It's the battery you need to look after.

I've planned to charge mine for 6 hours on low (or until the Ammeter goes down to zero) every Saturday. Better if you have a 24x7 trickle charger for a worry-free, battery charge management. I already started this last weekend, after cleaning the engine bay.

Trickle charging keeps em healthy. Trusty ol' Deltran.[emoji106]

its not the battery in your case, when your ignition is at the off position, there is probably no load on the battery. no alarm perhaps?

The Deltran was on my shopping list when I was in Seattle. Kaso panay 110v ang available.

I just ended buying a Sparco brand locally. Same 1.25 amperes [emoji1362]

Deltran produces 110v & 220v. Got both. It used to have a Ph distributor way back. Now they're all carrying CTEK here.

With the battery situation taken cared of, what do you guys think of the fuel left in the tank? I think I have more than 3/4 tank of Diesel left from the last full-tank two weeks ago (Petron Diesel Max).

Diesel, in particular, is prone to "Diesel Bugs". How long do you suppose Diesel fuel in storage would last before bacteria and fungi starts to become a problem? For that matter, how do they maintain the fuel health in Diesel generators which doesn't see much action for months or even years on end?

Oh actually nagpahanap ako sa friend ko sa Amazon. He told me 110v lang meron. I should have double checked [emoji17]
