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.

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

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..
