i call the battery workshop man to check and thye said that the batery is flat...then i go to perodua and the perodua guy call me to tow to their work shop. i said who will pay and the fellar said that i need to pay..and they give me all the excuse lar said that did u do any thing to the car like upgrading ur sound system and etc..I SAID YES and that fellar said maybe u have void the warranty and so on lar..wah so mad...


Now already get a new battery and a new warranty from the battery shop....

1.start the car...
2.pull out the negatif terminal battery
3.pull out positif ones plak....
4.please make sure the terminal doesn't touch the car body....if not say bye!bye!!! to ur ECU..... :D
5.Did the engine car still running...if yes...that mean..ur alternator is okay....if not...ur alternator failure ma....cannot charging ...

i already throw in th rubbish liaw lar..i guess now the battery is on the way to buterworth dump site..

 

[netmatrix]

Mine usually last 1 year ++. Then i buy new one. If still under warranty, can claim. I;m lucky GP is only a few shops away from my office. hehehe.

 

[vios]

a quality car battery would last at least 1 year and as long as 3 years.
try to get a branded one like yokohama. just my opinion :o

 

[ramzy]

Currently im using century battery almost 1 year. My tt apexi battery indicator shows that the voltage drop to 11.8v when full load: aircon switch on, headlight on, radiator fan on, aircon fan on but when there is no load my battery voltage is around 14v-14.1 I've changed the alternator but still same problem.What could be the problem? Is it because of the battery going to be kong soon :rolleyes: Is delkor or yokohama maintenace free battery good :rolleyes:

 

[P_driver]

Bought a chaplang battery for like rm 80 and its still running good ( more then 1 year already). Maybe the battery that came with the new car is old already. Sometimes battery stock clear slowly from the car factory

 

[leadaxer]

Has anyone used maintenance free battery b4? Seems the ads say u dont have to refill the water frequently. Is dat a hoax or izzit true? :unsure:
