i bought a bnew outlast battery last september 2010
it should have at least 18 months warranty
my woes started last march, my battery a low maintenance 2smf one
had its batt water empty, it discharged, dinalo ko sa shop malapit samin
motolite, put water, charged for a whole day overnight, got it the next day
ok na... after a week or less than 2 weeks nagstop di umistart
malakas ang battery gumagana lahat ng electricals sa kotse
di lang umiistart automatic ung kotse, (reverse polarity po pla ito)
so tinanggal ko ung bat, pinalit ko ung isang battery ng mother in law ko na lancer one click start agad, did it twice, same result one click malakas... so umaandar na tinaggal ko na ung hiniram ko umiistart na kasi so nilagay ko na ung akin *outlast) pag uwi ng bahay, after 3-4 hours idle continously and driving di ko pinapatay kasi baka di umistart at para kumarga, paguwi, turn off , pagstart un ayaw na uli magstart...

taga las pinas ako, bought the battery in binondo, so dinala ko pa dun, what they say is discharge ung battery, for recharging, requested for a service battery they gave me after several hours of waiting, looking for a one sa ibang branch, umuwi na ko, nilagay ko ung service batt, (outlast diesel?), so nilagay ko umistart ok after several days less than a week or so, dinala ng wife ko ung car after work inistart, ayaw na umistart (again?), so my wife and i asked outlast to bring the batt nmin (sabi nga pla ng outlast ung battery nmin ok nman daw di sira gusto ko na sana palitan nila kahit magdagdag ako), so dinala nila to alabang , installed and checked the car..

readings were this
something like 13,1 to 13.2 no load
pag niloadan na bmababa to 13v or even lower to 12.8
especially pag nilagay ung a/c to level 3 or more
sabi nung outlast ung karga ng alternator mahina,
after one or two weeks kahit bago o bagong karga ung battery
slowly idradrain nya ung battery til ayaw umistart

umandar na, after one or two weeks di na naman umistart pinapalitan ko uli ung battery ng service bat, kinuha nila ung battery ko, di pa nila binabalik aabutan kasi ng holy week this year i think holy tue un, now after two weeks wla pa sakin ung bat ko, last night nasa mcdo kami umilaw kasi ung abs gauge sabi ko sa wife ko ilagay sa gas stn malapit ginawa nya sa drive thru ng mcdo inoff di tuloy umistart so tinulak ko sa parking... got a wrench sinikipan ayaw, niluwagan konti, umistart...

ill call outlast mamaya to bring the battery sa bahay para ipagpalit uli ung service bat to our bat.... i dont know kung iistart uli sya ngayon, o kelan titigil.. ang pending problem kasi is the voltage reading na nasa 12.6-12.8v na nagcacause ng discharge

ano po diagnosis? ano po dapat gawin? san ko po ba dadalhin ito at ipapagawa? ano po kaya ang sira nito. ang initial finding ko is electrical talaga sya pero di ang hirap is me power naman alternator un nga lang anu cause within the system kaya mababa ang karga pag full load which causes discharge after several days/...

please help and advise ty. las pinas area any recommendations ung honest, magaling at di taga.

new update this 730am inistart ko kotse umistart nmnan dinala ko malapit smin na motolite pinatest ko, running with load and off, sabi nung nagtetest pinakita skin naka off ung makina nasa 8v, me red indicator na BAD, sabi affected daw ung battery at ung alternator.... pag me tama ung battery tatamaan din ung alternator, tinanung ko anu ung gagawin, ung battery palitan, then pag malakas na ung batery dalhin agad sa electrical ung gumagawa ng alternator, tama po ba?

as of now un pa lang, try ko tawagan ung outlast mamaya para madala na ung battery nasa kanila pa, ung service bat lang nasakin
