Is it bad to turn the engine on and off frequently

[dr. d]

Yung battery nga siguro talaga tatamaan.

Parang sa cellphone, too frequent discharge/charge cycles eventually hihina siya.

On the other hand... replaceable item naman talaga ang battery, as with the oils/fluids etc.

I make it a point not to mention brands, pero boto din talaga ako sa "Amaron". There was a another brand I had in my old car that lasted over 3 years but it had a really cheesy name like a Hong Kong action movie: "Magic Power" Wala na ata sa market yun.

well, if one puts it that way,
"nothing is more conveniently replace-able, than the gas in the tank."
heh heh.

btw, it is really easy to "manufacture" a battery. motolite sells its plates to whoever has the money. i just do not know the legalities of what brand one may slap on the casing.
ang daming battery re-builders...
