    Yup, around 4-5 years average.

    On the topic of Smart Car Battery Chargers, gamit ko yung 7 stage automatic charger. Around 3k yung price before, probably cheaper sa Raon or other sources.

    on the matter of product quality,
    there was this industry person, being interviewed on the air.
    he said, "go to china, ask them to produce this thing or that, at this lesser cost."
    gagawin nila. kahawig pa ng "reliable product".
    just you do not expect these to work as well as the "more expensive look-alike".

    Since I already have a dumb battery charger (which I very rarely use anyway), I went the other route and got a battery analyzer instead.

    This is the analysis my 2015 Innova Diesel's battery. It's made by Oriental, type 80D26L (133 mins RC | 68 AH) and it's approaching its 3rd year.



    They say that once the State of Health (SOH) goes down to 55-60%, you should consider replacing it. Letting it go below 50% could make for a slow or no-crank condition.

    To me, this is less guesswork as I don't have to wait for telltale signs of a dying battery. I just do the analysis every time I'm doing routine maintenance under the hood.

    nice gadget. i guess a must have for a tsikot car enthusiast...

    btw, what's the use of that dumb battery charger? is it the one that supposed to extend the battery life?

    Funny thing.

    I bought that precisely to monitor my UPS batteries. All in all, I have 5 UPSs. I'm using them in my server/network equipment, PC, living room A/V, bedroom A/V, and the secondary network cabinet on the ground floor.

    Using it on the car battery was sort of an afterthought.

    It's just something I thought every garage should have. It's an ordinary 6V/12V standard charger made by Creston.

    Shipped from overseas. It just took a couple of weeks to get to me.

    I think the one in your link is identical to what I have. It's about the same price also.

    How would you know the CCA of a regular UPS battery if the label says Ah ratings only? VRLA Gel and AGM types on -48VDC system also have Ah ratings but not CCA? I've read the manual online and it says from 100CCA 5increments to 2000CCA, so if I'm going to test a 100Ah VRLA, what CCA should i choose from the menu? I guess test will only be accurate if CCA is advertised by the battery manufacturer as the tester compare CCA values to get the SOH.
