Battery life - status?

[mroctopus]

aiyoo.. i don't need so much meter.. only a stock engine... let's the ecu take care of it.. hah.. i only need to know battery condition.

papagoines, the holder and meter look matching! :regular_smile: nice looking.. but how come on the left side? it will be easier to reference on the driver side i suppose.... btw thanks for your advise on the MF vs non-MF. My current car original come with MF battery, so the next round i'll change to non-MF.

ju onn.. good tips. thanks!

Hhaha..just for show...but when i'm driving...i can see tha vac meter frm corner of my eyes...

when changing to non-mf, make sure u check the water everyday yaa

 

[papagoines]

Er.. From what i understand we only need to refer the volt meter at the moment we turn the key to ignition position. The needle should move to 12 which is mean the battery is in good condition. After start, no need againlah. While the vaccum meter only need to refer when the car engine is in idle. The needle should be pointing 15-25 hg and must be in steady position (not vibrating). When start driving, the reading of both gauges wil be no longer relevan. unless u have RPM/Shift light.... or boost meter, ext temp, oil press and etc. those meters need to read while driving if i m not mistake. So must place it as close as possible at the drivers view.:regular_smile:

Well said sir...thanks , new info for me

hehe.. we all learning papagoines!
Speaking about battery, mine already 3 years ++. still in good condition. practising once a week baterry water level check and top up if neccesary. Friend of mine car battery already exceeding 4 years with no problem! Both of us might be quit few number of lucky fella. I believe all battery can last long if we know how to mantain it. My advise never ever forget to turn off all light before leaving ur car especially after driving at rainy or fogging weather at daylight.

Agreed...althought now I'm wearing MF for 3 yrs now, changed it twice :cry_smile:

that's why i'm using the volt meter...the vacuum meter bought becuz got 'rachun' by the salesman...

Aiya, buy 2 la...lagi smart wooo

u can regularly charge it using a trickle charger (which will automatically not overcharge your battery) this will make it last longer.

wheels alignment u done about 2-3 times a year right...just check the voltage at the workshop every time u check the wheel alignment or balancing....and put on the pivot volt stabilizer....very good for ur batterie
