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

[Mr. Ri Crash]

Salama sir. Parang isang baterya na din pala presyo pero mukhang sulit naman

[Lin Dan]

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

The Sparco is at 2,500 retail sir.

Not a product endorser nor seller, but CTEK has been an OEM partner to premiums like Porsche, Merc to name a few. Cadex, too. Assurance & mind peace for a 1-time expense gadget....makes good sense, think not?

talagah? 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...

Salamat po. Try ko naman ilagay yung battery sa isang sasakyan ko. Gumana naman po ang battery. Nag melt lang talaga sa kakapilit ko pag start engine sa isang sasakyan ko na ayaw gumana. Alternator na yata ang sira. Kasi kailangan pa itulak para lang gumana.

nag-melt!!
baka naman, poor electrical contact lang.
either your clamp is loose, or your clamp-to-battery cable connection is poor.
either way kasi, excessive heat may be generated.

addendum:
a defective alternator charging system, will result in a battery that may be too weak to start any car it is transplanted to.
and it will probably be too weak to cause connectors to melt.

good luck.

Before you start throwing parts in, rule the batt out 1st, fix that terminal. Should both be fine & the charge is still off, then you can get into the contacts, cables, ground & alternator.
Most modern cars have a replaceable electronic voltage regulator(pics below are a Denso unit).If that's the fault, it'll be easy & hobo. And, while the alt's out, you might wanna replace the bearings & brushes, too....granting the winding is good.
Good luck, sir.

Bought CTEK 5.0 last year. Already helped a couple of friends and relatives by letting them borrow it because their car wouldn’t start. I also used it because I stupidly left the accessory on in our Mazda. And now with the coronavirus problem, we don’t have to worry about battery related starting problems, unless it’s really worn out.

years ago, someone borrowed our old battery charger.
it was one of the powerful ones. heavy. it could start the car by its own, without help from the battery.
it hasn't been returned it. i had since forgotten who borrowed it.

bumili na lang ako ng cheapie-cheapie.
it gets the work done of charging the battery, enough to start the car.

sigh.
