    Order ka sa Amazon UK or Germany. Pa Ship mo sa shippingcart sa UK address nila. Via air nga lang. Sure na 220v.Bili kana lang ng dalawa o mas madami then benta mo iba. Mas mura kesa dito.

    The CTEK is a solid brand for smart car chargers though when I was in Seattle, the Deltran is a household brand for them. Yun tipong it’s just plugged onto their car’s batteries if they are not in used.

    Kung matutuloy ang byahe ng mga relatives ni misis next year, pahanap ako ulit ng Deltran. This time with the 220v option [emoji38] or if wala, sabi nga ni doc, bili ng step down transformer na lang locally [emoji1362]

    to those who do not want to spend that much, and who are willing to practice some amount of minimal discipline,
    a basic car battery charger is available from the mall auto accessories stores.
    2000 bucks, mebbe less.
    i got me a local "panther."

    a home car battery charger is a must, if one's car is an automatic.

    The Sparco brand when on sale is only 2K doc. Blade distributes it. And true this comes very handy for cars with automatic trannies. Pag naka tambay, just plug [emoji366] it [emoji1362]

    well, 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.

    Sir, when using a battety charger? Do i have to unfasten the terminal connectors or just leave them installed. I will not turn on the ignition switch, of course.
    Salamat po.

    Where can we buy a legit CTEK? Any recommendations?

    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

    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.
