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

If i’m still using a manual tranny, this smart car charger may not be in my “must have” list.

Good to have. Extends batt life, prevents premature death...& will pay for itself. How can one not?[emoji4]

If you have alternate cars... it will pay itself because you can squeeze the life of the battery..

back in the day,
i was using the charger (if i wasn't in a rush) or our stable of pushers (if i was in a hurry), in starting my MT in the morning.
my office colleague would park his car on the workplace inclined driveway, "for ease of driving away" come quittin' time.
what he and i had in common, was that we were both car tinkerers.
but it is funny, how come two pillars of our profession, back then, would put off buying a new battery for our cars...
heh heh.

btw,
kung malayo yung house electrical plug sa kotse, malaking hassle ngang gumamit ng charger.
lalo na kung lupa at basa pa, ang nasa gitna.

Had to add convenience outlets at strategic points. Extension cord where needed.

I’m bringing a 4 meter extension cord just in case i may be opting to charge on somebody’s turf [emoji846]

[emoji106]Had to borrow 1 from the concierge of our stop in 1 of those de-stress trips that almost turned stressful. The handy trickle charger played hero.[emoji16]

pwede naman habaan yung DC out para di na need extension, wag lang over 10 meters siguro. kung need mas mahaba talaga yung AC end ang habaan.

Kapatid ko bumili nung ctek charger. Pero too expensive for me so i bought this elcheapo charger from shopee. Been using this for 2 years na. Smart charger and barely uses electricity once the battery is charged.

May built-in voltmeter and ammeter pa. 1k lang bili ko dati. Sulit!

I wouldn't leave that charging overnight... i find chinese electrical wiring most are substandard..

Usually their wires are so thin and easy to break. Some have thick outershell that makes it look durable but on the inside.. wires are so thin.

Its been there for more than a month now. When fully charged 0AMPS lang yan so no wires can melt.

But i replaced the wires of the charger last year. Gauge 14 automotive wire yan nilagay ko.

And here is another one. I just hook and leave the chargers on the cars as soon as i finish using the cars. Been doing this for year now and battery's health is still at 100% from a battery tester (digital from shopee also). Battery CCA did not diminish since last year when i replaced the battery on the vios and when the inno was bought.

This charger is medyo expensive. 1500 bili ko 4 years ago. Hehehe
