    Hey Guys,

    I accidentally left the inside interior light on for 2 hours inside my Toyota Vios 1.5G. Did I lose a lot of battery life?

    I don't think so. And as long as your car starts you have nothing to worry about. I've left interior lights on for much longer than that.

    Sometimes overnight pa. Car still started

    Will not lose to much on battery as long as you run the engine the lose energy of battery will be replace. So a reminder when you close your door double check if there a light on the door before leaving the car.

    as long as you were able to start the car, ok lang yan. a few minutes of running engine is all that is needed to recharge whatever power the battery lost.
    and if your car doesn't start because of discharged battery, and your car is M/T, you can always try to push start it. i know. i've done it many times. but if your car is A/T, then i hope you have a battery charger. or, you have another car there with jumper cables.

    Rechargeable battery natin para lang cellphone na nabawasan ng 0.5 bar kung 2 hours lang kahit overnight yan ok lang wag lang headlight maiwan mo otherwise tulak or jumper mo auto mo.

    FYI kahit ma total drain battery no harm yun. Short circuit, overcharging, and overloading ang sumisira sa battery. Kung hindi maintenance free always keep the battery solution in correct level.

    To add...
    Do not use battery solution(full charge or half charge????<<< forgot the correct term),
    Use distilled water, like Absolut or Wilkens, make it sure na distilled water eto, not the mineral water.
    Pang battery na, pang pamilya pa....hehehe(sorry masaya lang ako ngayon).
    'la akong tiwala sa mga battery distilled water na benta sa gas station.
