    Good Day!

    Ayaw mag start ng oto ko this morning, wala din any indicator sa dashboard, usually pag ka "on" meron na. Then I asked yung taga talyer battery daw, kinargahan nya for 3 hours tapos try ko nag start na yung oto.

    Question:

    Do I need to replace the battery? I think it's just only 6months from the date I purchased.

    or

    Ok pa yung battery, sincen nag start na mag kaka power naba ulit yung battery?

    Salamt po sa mga sasagot.

    Have the battery checked. It should still be under warranty. If defective, have it replaced free of charge.

    How old is the battery? It could be defective, or worse, you have a problem in your electrical wiring.

    New batteries failing in just 6 months is very rare. I'll put my money on either something (like an accessory or any sources of battery drain) was left running overnight or the charging system isn't doing its job.

    Battery dealers have a way to test if your charging system is working.

    I think 6months. Yes the other mechanic told us to monitor if the problem still occurs its better to check the electrical wiring. Any signs na may problem ang electrical wiring? Weird lang kasi last week napansin ko na meron unusual na sound pag inoopen ko yung aircon its like a "tik tik" sound, pero pag naka off naman walang sound.

    Before anything else, question: What car? Year model?

    It may be your battery. Though as a precaution, have your charging system checked.

    For comparison, I have a 2010 Vios E AT at home. To date, naka 3 batteries na ako (from new). The charging system is still okay.

    Hindi ko pa napapa check yung charging system eh. What I did dinala ko sa mechanic para ma charge, sana maya pag uwi ko at I-start ko sana maging ok na para umabot ako sa pagawaan heheheh..

    ipa charge mo na lang sa auto supply, around 50 pesos lang if wala kang battery charger

    on the assumption na walang problema alternator and patay na talaga ang battery, hindi maghohold ng reserve charge ang battery and talagang kailangan na palitan.
    but before doing so, pa check mo muna yung alternator kung tama ang charging. pag na confirm na tama ang charging, palitan mo na lang battery.

    mahirap din kasi na hindi ma confirm ang condition ng alternator tapos bago battery mo.

    I think pa-check mo pa rin electricals. Nangyari na kasi sa akin yan, bagong palit alternator dahil sira na yung una. After a month discharge ang battery. Checked it ok naman, pero after 1 day down ulit. Turns out the fault was the aftermarket central door lock and alarm system.
