Dear all,
Need some advice,
Within this 1 months, my car always susah to start on morning.
The symptoms like battery weak.
Last Saturday, i bought new battery and changed.
Yesterday morning, when i want to start, its still the same.
The symptoms still like battery weak.
Is it the battery problem or starter?

Thanks

when u start yr car, remove the + & - terminal, if yr engine still running, alternator ok, if engine mati, alternator kong.
Will try this today.
But i think, the alternator is OK.
If there is any possibility the Starter problem?

It really sounds like an alternator problem or some accessories are leeching power off the battery when the car is turned off.

Start up the car and use a multimeter to check the batter status/power. The alternator should charge the battery when it falls past a certain limit or some car just keep charging the battery. Charging should be around 12.7V to around 13.7V. You might want to check with your workshop manual or dealer for the actually specs.
