Battery drain.

[BratPAQ]

Can I ask how long should I use the car to fully charge its battery? My battery drained dahil ilang weeks na hindi nagamit. We seriesed it then drove for 3 hours. Then shut down the engine. Pag bukas ulit ng makina it's having a hard time starting up. We tried to engage the ignition for like 20 seconds saka sya nag start.

Ano kaya problema? Kulang lang ako sa recharge? Something wrong with the battery? Or is it with ignition?

If the battery is old, it gets sulfated very easily. It will not hold the charge like a new battery would. Try using a battery reconditioner with desulfation function and retest.

MF ba sya and how old? kung yes at >2 yrs na malamang it's time to change.
pero meron akong >6 yrs experience sa gas fed innova, one click pa rin dati though decided to replace dahil medyo lumobo na ang kanyang sidewall.

If you have a multimeter, the voltage of the battery should be around 12.6 volts when the car is off. When the car is on with a/c, headlights, stereo, etc. on, it should read about 13.5-14.5 volts. If your reading is below that, then, there is something wrong with your alternator and it is going to kaput!

If, however, your alternator is ok and if the battery is the maintenance free type and is nearing the 2 year mark and it won't charge no matter what, then, it's time to buy a new one. Just call Motolite and they'll install and delivery it for you at your doorstep. They will also check your alternator to see it's ok.

Don't trouble yourself charging it relentlessly, hoping it might spring to life. You'll have more headaches with a discharged battery. Your car won't start in the middle of the road and you to have to push it.

Bring it to a Motolite shop (or any reputable car battery store you want). They have the necessary instruments that can check both the battery’s health and the vehicle’s charging system. The service is free and you can always go to a different shop to get a second opinion.

In my personal experience, in most cases, I was able to bring the battery back to health by charging it with a proper battery charger for several hours. Your mleage will vary depending on the battery’s age and how well it was maintained. I’d do this first before considering replacing it.

Unless absolutely necessary, don’t use the vehicle charging system to charge a depleted battery. This puts a lot of stress on the circuit and can accelerte wear on the alternator brushes, among others. If it can be helped, always charge a depleted battery using an external battery charger.

I use in-car voltmeter for monitoring voltages and have an automatic car battery charger desulfator for maintaining battery health at home.

How much and where did you buy this? Thanks.

You can buy car voltmeter from olx, lazda, aliexpress ... 300-500 pesos ... buy the one in the picture ...

I bought one. This is the reading for my 23 month Amaron on my Gen 11

I bought my car Toyota Altis 2002 A/T last Mar 23, 2018 with the issue of automatic lock on the driver seat. So the day I bought this we go straight to the shop and ask to install security alarm (I forgot the brand) then after 2 days the battery got discharge. The battery got replaced immediately and after 5 days the issue came again. It's stupidity of me not to observe the car on the first week before we install the alarm. Going back, we go the other shop to look the problem he told me that my alternator is worn out and we decided to replace it as well but it didn't resolved there. Our car is drained after 2 days
I did back to the mechanic he finds out it was grounded and remove the fuse connecting to the radio, clock, alarm and lights. So by that I am thinking maybe I got this to the shop where we install the alarm. We went to the shop and told the issue they turn off the alarm and back the fuse to observe. Then after a day or two the battery drain again. Its getting worst sheeez.
What i did is to remove the fuse and it works for me because I was using it for the next 2-3 months sacrificing without alarm, radio, lights and clock inside.

Then, I decided to go to another shop. He told me that there is no problem with my electrical maybe just the battery size which is Motolite 1SMF. He will back the fuse and advise to warm the car everyday for at least 10 minutes which I did unfortunately the battery died.

Mga ka tsikot hope you could give some advise or determine what specifically that problem is?

Thanks,

Thanks,

(Please refer to the hi-lighted sentence) i'd like to ask why did the mechanic just took out all the fuse where in fact he already determined that there was a grounded line? why didn't he fixed the grounded line instead?

ano po ba dapat ang reading ng voltage nito? before and after magstart?

[red_one]

Before start = 12V and up.
After start = 14V and up.

before starting, that's your battery voltage.
after starting, and with the engine running, you are now measuring your alternator's output voltage.

My car's battery is turning 6 soon. I think I should buy one too.

I think its 3 years old., motolite gold sya. Called a motolite delivery kasi nga di kami maka alis ng parking lot. Pero bago dumating ang delivery eh nag start na yung kotse by trying to ignite it for 10 seconds or so.

Pag dating ng motolite he asked me to shut off the engine, he then tapped some gadget to the battery and asked us to start the engine, it started naman. I forgot what unit of measurement he said pero 10 na lang daw yung reading. Nag start daw yung engine kasi mainit pa. Pag cold start daw eh mahihirapan. Kailangan na palitan battery. We're going to the province and I don't wanna risk being stranded kaya binili ko na.

I don't know if I've been duped or not.

Mechanics usually say that sulit na kung maka-3 years ang battery. Super sulit din for peace of mind
