[baludoy]

I used my good old suoer batt charger the other day on my semi garage queen and the whole process took about half-a- day.

I have one and I've been using it for more than a year. Some says that the stock battery for i-Stop won't last for more than 2 years.

I'll come back here next year and update you.

some reviews say that the mode button sometimes stops working. yun lang ang nakikita kong issue sa ctek. But I am eyeing on this charger too. Maybe I will buy ctek mxs 5.0 this coming June. Actually, I bought Panther Manual Charger 6a 2 days ago. It is a good manual charger you know. Unfortunately, nagkaiba ung connection ng positive at negative. Ayun, naisra ung fuse.haha. Ok lang naman kasi de fuse lang. Ung fuse lang a nasira.haha

One thing is, I don't have to worry about the terminals being interchanged. I have this permanent connection:



If you have a couple of cars, then you can buy the terminals separately.

There was an instance, I left the car for two straight days. Since it is a smart charger, it is smart enough not to overcharge it.

I used it once to revive this battery:



I'm supposed to use it but I still haven't. Anyways, for two days it kept on giving me "not charging status" until finally it was able to charge.

I'm not saying this is the best, but this is recommended by *travajante and I trust the guy.

For your other inquiry, I'm not familiar or I don't have the "mode button".

Bro.,- daig pa rin iyan ng jumper cable ni bro.LSB...

What's the wiser take,- this CTEK charger or the jumpstarter?

[In my case kasi,- if matagal kami sa biyahe,- tanggal ang koneksyon ng baterya....]

Get both! [emoji3]

This CTEK battery charger is safe to leave on your car. On the other hand, it will not save you should the battery die on the road.

That's why I have a JumpStart battery. Out of concern to my younger brother, I gave it to him. And just as a coincidence, he used it a couple of times already.

I decided to have that CTEK because the stock battery I have can amount to 15,000 Pesos! There are alternatives but for comparison, I'll use the stock battery to illustrate.

Let's say I am able to extend the battery life for a year or two, then the CTEK charger have paid itself.

Now let's say what I have is an ordinary battery. In that case, I'll be assuming that it can only extend the battery life at most is one year. Again, it has paid itself on my second purchase of the battery.

So if I need to replace it every two years, then I should have the third battery for six years. However, I'm on my second on the sixth year because of CTEK.

Some says that the cost of CTEK is like buying a brand new battery. I agree on that. The argument is, the charger will have paid itself on the long run. That I think, the word "investment" comes in. You invest now and and gain it later.

And since I'm a cheapskate, I'll be buying a jump-start battery for myself. In that way, I don't have to worry about the battery dying anywhere on the road. If it dies, then I simply use the JumpStart battery then run the car and buy a new battery.

For someone like me who is always on the run, and NOT from my wife or any other girls (I'm not giving you a chance or any other guys lurking around to play with my words [emoji3]), the JumpStart battery is a necessity for me.

I can't imagine myself at midnight going to the comfort room along SCTEX then once I start the car, it won't run because of a dead battery.

Again, buy both! [emoji3]

Bossing based from your experience, ilang months mo napa-extend ang isang "expired" battery?

This charger is relatively new to me, so I'll get back to you by the end of 2020.
[emoji3]

At the very least, our chief engineer told me that he had his battery for about 5 years and he was still using it. I was recommending it to him, and much to my surprise he said that he had that for many years.

so the reason it lasted for 5 years is because he is using the smart battery charger?

lead-acid batteries die because of sulfation which is IRREVERSIBLE

sulfation is from normal use and is accelerated by keeping the battery at a low state of charge (SOC)

so it's best to maintain lead-acids by "floating" them at about 13.8v. there's no convenient way to do this with your car battery unless you want to hook up a charger everyday

btw you lose more water when on float charge

so don't buy overpriced gadget like ctek hoping for a miracle

so hindi po totoo yung sinasabing desulfation process ng mga smart battery charger like CTEK?

The way I understood him, yes. He said he had used it to his previous vehicles with similar results.

I am attaching these pictures for your reference.







One more thing, please don't follow that part saying "connect and forget". When it was new to me, I have forgotten that I connected it.

Perhaps I should say, manage your time well so that you don't have to be in a hurry and mess things just like what happened to me.
