How to know battery going to be flat?

[flashbang]

Can try the free battery check at Autobacs. Not sure if they will try to hard-sell you anything after that though.

[Zmwang]

A multimeter can help you with that. 

 

If you are particular about the battery, you can buy a battery charger with 2A setting to refresh the battery every 6 month.

Nope they do not hard sell. I done my free battery check and they will give you the small slip print out.

 

Happen they do not carry the brand and size i wanted.

Advice, not advise.

 

Advice is a noun.

 

Advise is a verb.

Hi all ,

How do you know that battery going to be flat ?

When the car starts , it prompt you "switch to economy mode " . Can this be 1 of the symptoms that battery is weak too ?

 

Cranking sound . Usually it took me 1 crank to start the engine . But yesterday the cranking sound is long before engine start , can this also telling you that battery going to be flat soon ?

Pls advise

 

I use a car thermometer voltmeter Multifunction to check and monitor my car battery every month.

 

only $23. URL as below

I check my battery status at autobacs every 6-9 months. Also added a lifepo4 booster (diy) to the amaron battery, Been using for close to 3 years, still at 90%.

how to make your battery die in the first 3 years to get a replacement battery under warranty?

 

  

[Ahbengdriver]

Heat will make battery die earlier than it should be.  That's why BMW battery is stored in the boot.

Just installed Blackvue cam front n rear for 24hrs surveillance.  Its draning the battery down to the cut off level, but of cos when I start driving in the morning it gets charged up.

 

is the battery gonna Koyak?

How old is your battery?

 

Get the battery checked lah.

[Adrianli]

When it comes to battery check, any Tom, Dick and Harry workshop will do the job, brand of car is immaterial. If really kia si, go to more famous brands like Autobacs or Stamford tires loh. Still better than kena carrot by AD.

My car original battery is a 60A Panasonic Pro, the label states it's designed for start-stop function.

 

Where to get this kind of battery? It's a wet batt and looks just like any standard battery except for the start-stop label.

Transfer label to new batt?

If your vehicle is not getting start with 3 to 4 clicks then it will be certainly your battery problem. Yesterday we were going to picnic and when I started my with one click it was not started. Again I clicked it for 3 more times but was not successful. I called my friend and he provided me the reference of https://www.yourmechanic.com/cars/hyundai. I visited them and after checking the vehicle, they find  problem from  battery side. After  changing the battery  my vehicle is running fine.
