Battery prob??

[adamalek]

I went 4 holiday and left my car(Wira) alone for 2 days.
After i came back and want 2 unlock it, the tut tut sound not as usual, it's sound low a lil bit.
Then i tried to start the engine but just the 'tik' sound appeared. check the radio, the lights still ok...
So i jump start the car and success!
Then i turn off the engine and left it for bout 5 hours. After that the car start like normal..
hmm.... what the prob eh?

it is a dead battery, after u jump it and u got it running for 5 hours it the engine has charged the battery therefore u can start as usual

car batteries act weird...

previously i felt the battery like weak coz when start engine like need to turn longer than usual to start. went to check with volt meter. full power. next day battery kong.

Actually when you measure with volt meter, its only show the batt volatge. To really check the batt condition, you need a batt tester with a load function where by it test your batt under load @ 50 amp for 5 sec (like starting a car). The batt died not becaues of low voltage but no more reserve capacity.
Just like Hand phone. Fully charge takl 20 min gone. Switch on ,battery full bar. :blink: :blink: :blink:
