discargado battery mo.

subukan mo itulak. pag umandar, at naka ilaw pa din, sira na alternator mo, hindi nagkakarga.

alternator supplies power to the spark plugs habang tumatakbo makina. no alternator, no power, alang vroom-vroom. battery supplies power to starter... no battery, no starter, no vroom vroom din.

i suggest papuntahin mo electrician sa bahay mo, patanggal mo alternator, pa-repair, ibalik, tapos itulak. pag umandar at wala nang battery warning light, bayaan mo lang umaandar o kaya mamasyal ka muna ng walang patayan makina. para kumarga yung battery (from the alternator din ang recharge nito).

If the battery indicator is lit, it simply means that the charging circuitry is not working. You could have a dead battery and the indicator will not light up for as long as the engine is running and the charging system is working.

Common things to check:

1. Alternator belt
2. Alternator (usual suspects are worn out commutator brushes)
3. Rectifier and/or regulator circuit (usually built into the alternator)

kapag umilaw ang battery indicator while the engine is running means yung alternator mo is not properly working ( under voltage ) or sira na talaga. pwede mo pa-check yan sa mga alternator shops or sa mga battery dealers

thanks guys! bago lang ho yung battery ko pero nadischarged due to faulty alternator. di na pala nakarga.
I paid 2000 bucks to have the alternator rotor (just the rotor) replaced w/ a surplus one.
