a simple digital voltmeter is being sold in the tradezone for rm55.. i think its a bargain and a must install for car owners who dont like getting the suprise of a dead battery on a morning startup..

my battery on the neo went dead 2 months ago.. i bought the car 2nd hand so i didnt know how long the battery was used but it looks clean n pristine so i was supprised it went dead on me, so i'm installing a volt meter soon to see if the volt readings during driving could help me detect if my alternator is not performing.. maybe any sifus here could share how to monitor our car's battery/alternator health?

yup.. i was planning originally to get those digital voltmeter.. but i was put off by the hassel to cut wire etc... even their plug in version for ciggy lighter there also seems like a messy setup...

then yesterday i walked into ACE hardware n saw a ciggy lighter version but wit LED indicator. I saw the price ok oso.. so i got it to test it out..

If I'm not mistaken, Elton's Voltage Stabaliser also can do the same task, in fact, can do more than that.

messy la bro.. wire sepah2. eye pain u know

Guys,how much does it cost to repair my ciggie port.Both front and rear port not working. When plugged in charger no electricity coming out.

no idea...

wire can be easily hidden at the center console, I've tried it before

i think its not the port faulty.. maybe got wiring problem.. try asking any electronic / acc. shop that can diagnose ur problem.. mine is also dead.. but haven't gone check yet.. since i'm not smoking so i tend to forget.. hehe

front, last time i'm changed kena RM35.. but better u check the fius first.. the fius for charger located at below the steering dashboard

pivot has one product also can display the voltage..quite small in size I think

Most of the time is the fuse problem..go check on it 1st
Kena once n got it change for less than rm 10

Just back from Dori-Dori..

The Arospeed staff trying his LCP on my car then he offer the LCP. However i refuse and in excange he will give me braided hose brake..sound good to me being a guinea pig..

Lolz hahha, ehh U teach me de leh, suck abit better dun sux, if wan sux till dry dry lolz

Yeah i think u satisfy with it performance

sounds awesome, next time tell me if they need anymore guinea pig, i got a friend who's car already cacat like hell, sure no pain if the parts rosak

awesone response guys.I'ma get mine checked.Need to use it as a charger port for my GPS.

u may wanna check the fuse for the ciggie port.

btw, my voltage stabilizer can go out at bulk purchase of RM180.00 for three units. Anyone ups?
Doubles up as a VS and tested by Danny (thanks!)

No problem yo
I showed to one of my friend and he is kinda interested, will let you know if he confirms

or maybe its as simply as your battery can no longer hold charge.
You should try recharging/reconditioning the battery.

do you have a pic of the LED tester?

new battery... abt 5-6 month only

i take pic tomoro....

btw.. i was looking at my engine while running just now... i saw a disturbingly huge vibration at the crank pulley.... as if like my crankshaft bengkok already or something

5-6 months go for a round of recharging / desulfating, that way the battery will lat much longer in future. charge every 3-6months once, you'll double the life of the battery
