March 24th, 2020 08:52 PM #72well, you can wait for the sale later on, or you can buy the local brand now.
at least, our readers here now have a price to compare the "sale price" they may encounter.
heh heh.
btw,
when the battery is flat dead, one does not have to charge it for a couple of hours.
if one is in a hurry, it takes only a few minutes to charge the battery with enough juice, so as to start the car. once the engine starts, one can drive off and the alternator will do the rest of the charging on the road.Last edited by dr. d; March 24th, 2020 at 08:57 PM.

Let me give you my step-by-step instructions.
1. Remove the negative terminal.
2. Go out and look for an automotive shop.
3. Show the terminal to them and buy a new one.
4. Go back home.
5. Clean the battery terminal.
6. Install the new battery terminal.
7. Try to start the car.

April 19th, 2020 02:46 PM #76talagah? nag-melt?
baka naman, kinain ng battery electrolyte?
either way,
this is what i do:
disconnect from the battery and clean it. for safety, disconnect the other terminal as well.
see if you have enough metal left, for service-ability.
bend it into service-able shape if need be.
then, see if it can be re-connected to the battery, and tightened enough as to have good electrical connection.
if you think it is too deformed already, replace it na lang.
good luck.
if you can post a picture...

April 19th, 2020 02:58 PM #77if there's corrosion on the terminals, pouring hot water on the affected area will remove the crusty white or bluish powder.

Re: starting to charge, I've observed that even after a long provincial drives 8+ hrs battery charge still wouldn't reach near 100% so during this ECQ season the external Smart charger takes the job of charging until reaching near-zero amps. Also best practice is to reach running temp then engage all the gears, or do a quick run around to help in "splashing" the gearbox and drivetrain with lubricant.
