nothing to do with brand or driving pattern. its because the battery is in the boot. if i put that same varta germany in my peugeot 308 guarantee it will fail after 2 years.

how much that battery retail currently?

Can anyone explain this ?

Before a battery replacement was done for a vehicle with a dead battery, it was jump-started and that managed to crank the vehicle up.

So with the vehicle turned on, the jumpers were removed following its proper sequence.

Now when the (-)ve terminal to the dead battery was removed from the dead battery's post, the vehicle immediately stalled.

Whatever ever happened to the saying that the alternator takes over and provides current to the vehicle and the battery plays no further part after that ?

P/S : After a new battery was installed, the starter snd alternator were tested and they were in excellent condition.

the problem still lies within the battery....

The alternator helps with the battery charging if above 2000rpm. Below that, charging is almost negligible, but still can power the whole car's electrical demands. The ECU will auto compensate for the added load despite car idling.

If what you say is really so, there will be loads of cars breaking down on rush hour traffic in KL/Klang rush hour period, not to even say the even more insane JB-singapore causeway.

If you don't believe, provided your car doesn't have auto engine cut off timer, try idling your car the whole day. As long as there is fuel, it can still keep on and on. Remember, the CCA rating is rated for 2 hours.

Toyota is into batteries too ? This ought to be interesting, bro what is name on the battery ?

All cars have parasitic draw ma.. For example to power the ECU to store engine mapping and other data. If you read the article, you'll understand better.

Product : INFINITIUM Battery Desulfator

Hi guys, an advertisement appeared on my mobile, which state that it could double the battery's lifespan. Has anyone tried this product out before or knows how this product actually works ? Really curious.

Today morning my sister-in-law came home claiming that the battery that I replaced for her were giving her air-con troubles while driving, based on some 3rd party advice. The battery was fixed on 10 Aug 2020 and it was perfect.

So immediately I ran some diagnostic tests and immediately identified that the culprit was the alternator which was under-charging. The alternator was replaced with a reconditioned unit, (I would have preferrred an original unit) and now the voltage readings are ok and the CCA has moved back up by 52 CCA units.

Then I learnt that the faulty unit was a reconditioned alternator as well, that was changed out about 2~3 years earlier. I feel sorry for her for being penny wise, pound foolish. Never ever heard of cheap no good and good no cheap. Now I am hoping that the cheap reconditioned alternator will not fail again in the short term.

VOLKSWAGEN NO NEED BATTERY REGISTRATION ?



I always thought that Volkswagen needed to use special battery with registration etc. Today open the bonnet to perform battery test saw this battery inside. Hmmm.... so now no need special battery anymore  ? The QR Code with Battery Number at the bottom not required lagi ke ?

Good evening,

I am looking for a tester, so heard Lancol being mention so I have a look Micro 200 below rm90 both local and oversea unit.
Then saw Lancol CAT200 RM127.  77sale will bring down to rm118(oversea unit) It a tester and charger(2 in 1).

So what do you all think?

Get or no get? Cat200.
Lazada CAT200

LiFePO4 Batteries

Found something interesting. Actually I have read about Balmar alternators quite sometime ago, so this video was a pleasant surprise. Have fun.



Sorry somehow the YouTube link is not working, so those who are interested would have to go through the long method.

I checked TanahGagal's claim about VW giving 2 years warranty on the battery, and its validated to be true. But...the warranty of course comes with a price. A jaw dropping price to be expected when you change at SC.

Note this is just a partial screenshot of the pricing. You have to scroll down the webpage and its there.

Update: I just found out that , for the Polo TSI 1.2 , the battery spec is only 280CCA and 51AH

mine is Foxsur charger, and I love the repair mode which one youtube video can restore back the battery CCA level to day 1 (restore). The longest I charged is from 10 pm at night and off at 6 am.

I'm sold.... which model did you guys purchase?

I am well TQ, just as I hope for everyone else. It's great that you decided to switch back to AGM Battery. Using the proper battery construction and a healthy battery are the most important criteria in ensuring that your vehicle performs at its optimum condition at all time. Cutting corners is simply asking for trouble.

What I really don't understand about Made in Germany AGM Varta Batteries is that the battery comes without any packaging no boxes whatsoever. How are the batteries transported from Germany to Malaysia without any packaging ? As for my P.C. batteries comes by the pallet and all the batteries on each pallet are plastic wrapped for stability during transportation. Since each dry battery all having their individual boxes, that not only further enhances stability but protection when it's delivered to dealers everywhere. It's the same with other dry battery brands too. Even Made in Korea Varta Batteries comes with boxes. Perhaps the Made in Germany AGM Varta Battery will remain a complete mystery for me.

Emtrac battery ok ka? Honda sc said my ori batt health 40% recommend to change. 46b24r the emtrac batt rm314..

I have experienced of 4 years with this camel brand.
