maintenance free batt question

[shadow]

na discharge kasi pwede ba i pa charge ito or bili na ng bago? Tuesday night naiwan ko yun map light up to this morning ayaw na mag start

[Jiggs]

Depende sa age ng battery mo...kung within 2years pa lang yan most probably pwede pa yan. Anyway the battery charging station would know naman kung pwede pa yan meron silang parang meter to test if it is ok pa. Nun sinauna pa they still test it with Hydrometer like testing for those not sealed type ngaun medyo hitec na.

Puwede pa yan i-charge pero pa-check mo na din kung may battery solution pa. Total wala nang warranty yan kasi na-discharge mo na eh, pabuksan mo na lang. Malay mo lumampas pa sa guaranteed months. Pero based on my experience, hindi na magtatagal yan kung malapitna din expiry nung MF batt mo.

ok thanks, bili na lang ako bago

[Thumbdrive]

magkakarga pa rin yan, wag lang napabayaang matagal na discharge (months?) at nagkaroon na ng lead sulfate sa plates ng battery. dalhin mo lang sa recharging stations.

hi, i had the same problem, na discharge ang Motolite Enduro ko, after almost 2 years. Where are the other recharging stations? how can one easily check for the "lifespan" of a car battery? pls advise thanks

hey, mine is 4yrs and counting (motolite) di pa namna pumalya, pero dapat na bang palitan?

discharged battery? we used to start the car by push-starting it. if you have a battery charger, fast-charging for 5-10 minutes may be enough to have the car started. there is no need to charge the battery afterward. in modern cars, 30 minutes of normal daytime use afterwards, will adequately charge the battery. if the battery discharges again for no apparent reason, have the battery and the charging system checked.
nowadays, i use maintenance-free batteries. in our experience, we never had to maintain them until they naturally die after 24 months or more. also, there is no need to protect the overhead metal..

Kung A/T yes, pag manual sagarin mo na hanggan mamatayan ka na lang.

kaya pa iyan either by bringing the battery to a battery dealership to have it recharge or push-starting the car.

I'm using Motolite Gold 2SM maintenance free battery. Sabi ng electrician sa akin to have it charge periodically to prolong the life of your battery.

Hirap din magpa charge diba overnight iiwan sa batt shop.

oo, ganun nga.

[Ginnova]

a 30 minute quick charge should be able to start your car

OT:


Which battery typically last longer, a maintenance free battery? or the conventional electrolyte battery. TIA.

What for? The battery is charged by the alternator when you use your car. As long as you drive for around 30 mins or longer, your battery should be fully charged. This is assuming you dont drain your battery by listening to your radio or sound system with the engine off.
