Good advice. Just want to ask who teach you to connect (-)neg to car body? Apek bawah pokok? Car paint these days already block the connection, also longer route to the battery. I wud suggest direct connection to the battery like in pix, ask the keta hidup to rev car engine first before you attempt dead battery start. Have been helping ppl a lot to jumps start car, even pregnant women who know how to isi minyak and drive saja..Pity nowadays many also dunno how to jumpstart a battery.
*Unker missed the days where you could put car in neutral and jumpstart car in 2nd gear. Maybe CTR or Megane?

Respect. Even I dare not do that. Respect.

Well I hope not, very non-ethical, shortening battery lifespan. But if stock from manufacturer, defects or electrochemistry not well made I can't blame la.

The good quality batteries that I am getting directly from the manufacturer has no problems whatsoever. Haven't found one yet and there is a good reason for that. If there is a ever problem, it's going to be a big problem cause production is made innhuge batches and it's a freaking big problem.

My clients batteries that die prematurely within the warranty period will be immediately investigated and it's usually the drivers error. After the battery is properly recharged, they can still use it. No problems at all and the drivers learn not to repeat the same mistake.

Check your car manual. If they don’t allow or recommend jump start they will say so.

Yup it works until their dashboard starts to light up like a Christmas tree and then ask "Apa ni ?"

Nah... it works. Because original from factory also not running on AGM battery. They all use EFB ones like all typical non-hybrid cars with start-stop.
Regular cars with no start stop also can use EFB batteries. I have tried and lasted close to 4 years that has a bunch of audio upgrades before the battery worn out.
My boss had his Vellfire for 7 years since 2016 until he upgraded , never seen Xmas lights on the dashboard... Thats a Toyota.. Not BMW...

My client 's Toyota Hellfire V6 CBU lighted up like that. I remember when he called me the 1st time, he said he had already removed the battery himself ! I was like WTF ???

Eco Idle is for Premium, not for second tier Bezza X

Apparently I didn't know you guys are mentioning this Start/Stop thing.

Well, I think newer cars less of an issue. hmm.gif
Hopefully my dashboard+fog lamps running won't be sucking too much power from the battery and/or alternator.
Really stupid feature of Bezza of designing a dashboard so recessed can't even read the speedometer under sunlight without the backlight on.

I normally only leave that on, heating element for rear windshield also off.
Only normally need to drive additional Xiaomi Dashcam from 5V/2A USB port and a 12V to 5V/9V/12V PD Charger Type C charger only rclxub.gif

I mean somewhat true.
Sometimes just might need a basic recharge to get things going only sweat.gif

Even today I went to two car battery workshop, tell me different story on my Car Battery Health on their meters.
One say 20% SOC/SOH and another 50% SOC/SOH... rclxub.gif

I don't own one, but I curious the accuracy of these meters.
Who knows you recharge the battery can go another 3-6 months before really kicking the bucket after the electrolytes or ions are depleted.

Well concern maybe got arcing or battery explode or battery is considered "shorted" state.
Will short out the car electronics, and ended up the with 2 cars with flat batteries or shorted electronics later.

Those are OG German made Varta AGM battery, black casing. Those light grey casing are made in Korea, those not so good. My peugeot is running a benz ori din70 AGM, 3 years 8 months old still can get full CCA. And i also keep a Benz ori DIN110 AGM, that one 6 years already still maintain 100% CCA.

Thanks to those people i found 1 month old battery at my friend's scrap yard.

U can try Kingbolen BM550, quite cheap and accurate, less than rm50 can get, youtube got ppl test it against Bosch battery tester and it is almost as accurate as the Bosch.

Redneck like me I don't just charge it using a conventional battery charger, I zap those battery with DC inverter welder, after zapping u can see the CCA improve. That how my scrap yard's friend lorry don't have to buy battery. And of course not all battery can be zapped, if u don't know what you are doing, you can end up with acid bath.
