my Varta 34B19L left 40% health after 26months. partly due to MCO and last yr 2019 got 2-3weeks never start my car.

anyone managed to revive car battery using Bosch C7 ? i ordered 1 from Lazada Bosch Malaysia and wanna try to revive to at least 60-80% ... if failed , probably will return it as it defeat my purpose already .

It only goes on a downward trend.
At most you can recover 10~20CCA (subject to where you clamp the SoH reading device, battery's state of charge, ambient temperature)
Not sure what spec the varta 36b19 is but one website show 266CCA(SAE).
So that's like 5% recovered tops.

If you just want to start the car with enough juice, just find chapalang 12V battery charger RM30~60 to top off to crank.

Edit: Oh wait mine went from 480CCA then MCO 1 month, 425CCA, then drive abit and another month and then finally recharge back to 480CCA. ~11.5% recovery.
*
Just got the item moment ago. Will go take my car battery and try to regenerate later .

I expect at least 20-30% .5% is waste of money and time .

Bosch C7, revives your battery or does maintenance? Nowadays... car seldom drive, might invest in one of these.
*
I'm trying to revive my battery state of health at 45% .

Anyway, this C7 cost about Rm200 only , if u buy at right timing ...I got it at Rm217 ...not expensive anyway , if u have 2-3cars in ur house .

Both. You should invest it if you have > 1 car.
RM180~RM250 can lengthen your current AND FUTURE car batteries.

Mine Trip A<>B x5 ~48km (~240km) a week + under sun everyday and charged irregularly; lasted 2.5 years before sudden death. 2017.08.17 ~ 2020.02.20.
If here people report stock battery: 1.5 years max, 2.5 years has already stretched the lifespan 66% longer if totally didn't charge.
SC charges RM240 per battery.
66% longer battery lifespan => Already saved RM160.

If 2 cars, save even more.
Just need rajin charge ~2 weeks when new, then gradually need charge more at ~1 week when aged.
Charge more often better of course.
No downsides.
*
To be Frank, most of my battery last at least 26-38months , which is 3yrs 2months .

Changed becoz it's my wife's car.

Now hope that the C7 can revive my city battery

You can use these types also, cigarette lighter voltage display
Battery status instructions are there.
This is better than buying overpriced LED strips imo.
Do take note, the actual voltage will be -0.3V lower than battery. So 12.0V on the display means 11.7V at the battery terminals.
*
Those car charger with voltage display is a bit useless . U couldn't see the State of Health of the battery .and it's not really reliable reading also.

From my work experience, the best battery tester is a load tester.
https://www.lazada.com.my/products/stock-re...-i13708400.html

So far my usage of various equipment, only this can tell accurately if the battery is dead or not, b4 starting the vehicle.
*
But this couldn't show % of state of health .

I still prefer to read figures .lol

Is this the one you're using?

When you use the Bosch C7, do you need to unplug battery from the car system? Meaning the car will be out of power ah?
*
This one newer version ..

Unless u r using regeneration mode ,else u don't need to remove the car battery .

But becoz I stay at condo ,there is no wall plug , so I need to remove it and bring to my unit .

In my case , I need to open my bonnet 1st then only manually lock the car.after that only remove the car battery .if u only lock the car after remove the car battery ,u can only lock driver side door ...

I think there's no point regenerating the battery already as the resistance is too high @ 15+. A healthy battery usually have resistance ~5.

Thanks for telling me . I don't know how to read that .btw , my new amaron NS40ZL fitted in myvi shows R:8

Yeah mine died with last reading taken at 175CCA 16.68mOhm 12.61V but 2.5 years la. That sunday before death, got take 1 reading with 60CCA 49.14mOhm 10.94V; battery was heating up but can crank for 5 more days.
I've seen others with 140CCA 21.4mOhm 12.64V; still can start no issue.
Then there's one totally cannot crank at 85CCA 34.96mOhm 10.68V.
All stock MF battery from factory.

AGM = 4ohm
normal ones ~6ohm
my new one 480CCA 6.22mOhm 12.45V.
1 week old city, stock battery reading taken from other member: 445CCA 6.7mOhm 12.82V.

I am using Century Ultramax with CCA of 350. Been using it for 28 months now. Last checked the condition, it is still good.

The NS40ZL Amaron Highlife's CCA is rated at 330. So I believe if it is well taken care, it should be able to last at least 3 years minimum.
*
350CCA is factory rated CCA or checked with Battery tester ?

My myvi with Amaron Hilife 42B20L, checked with battery tester ,CCA 415.

So I'm not sure if I will get the same lifespan if use on City , since it's a bigger car.LOL

Hi Guys,

May i know is there any problem with red front signal light?

And red rear signal light.

There is reason why signal light need to be yellow colour. U can use red light , but when accident happens ,don't blame other .
