Salamat po.

Where can we buy a legit CTEK? Any recommendations?

Smart chargers like CTEK got ComfortConnect cables you permanently hook onto the terminals. Plug&play. Blade carries CTEK.

I have this aftermarket DRL on one car that turns on when i hook the charger, it somehow sense the charging voltage similarly produced when running the engine, I just then disable the mains of the DRL.

Blade carries both the CTEK and Sparco. I am using the latter.

if the terminal is corroded,
it's either the battery's fault (overfilled battery or cracked housing), or the charging system's fault ("overcharging").
yes, we can clean it, but it will recur. best to find out what is causing it.

i haven't seen a corroded terminal in my car for over a decade now.
the new modern casings are dang good, and the electronic alternator systems also are good.

is that a traditional, low-tech, hi-maintenance lead-acid battery?

Matalinong pang karga ng kuryente sa baterya.. para mas humaba ang buhay ng baterya

Okay yan ah. Magkano yan ganyan sir?

Nasa 6k ang ctek.. di ko alam ang sparco..

Ang punto ay panatilihin na kargado ng husto ang baterya.. kasi pag panay kuha lang ng kuryente at hindi napapalitan ng sapat ay masisira agad ito..

Sa pag karga ng baterya ay dapat unti unti lang at hindi biglaan.. kaya mababa lang mga amperahe ng mga pang karga na yan
