Battery failure warning system?
rooneytoon2004:
usually there are some tale signs to tell u the battary is getting weak..eg. when crank start the car it take a few tries instead of 1 instant crank start.
some MF battery also have indications mark to show uwhen u need to replace a new ones. dun noe wet battary have such indiaction anot :confused1:
just:
i encountered the same problem also. parked for 20 min for dinner, came back , engine couldnt start. managed to get help from another driver to jump start. thought everything fine, 2 days later when i rushing for my marathon run the car couldnt start again. after the run get my friend to jump start, the battery flat again when i stopped engine 15min for lunch. in the end call TCM mobile to change the spoilt battery. damaged $110. was told the battery can last about 400k km only.
clarence:
I find conventional batteries that require top up of battery water more hardy & lasting.
Mine lasted 3 years in my previous ride.

Huh..u were charged?? I just sent in my car 2 days ago to check out the batt.. cos i need to jump start 2 days in a row.. they did the "hand-held" test and told me my batt health is at 100%.. and charging rate is at 97%.. so it should be ok.. but i told them to do a thorough check.. cos it is impossible to have to jump start the car 2 days in a row.. left my car there for abt 4 hrs... when i got my car back.. they told me the bill is $110.. i told them to check again... cos i was told my batt is in good health.. y change it without my consent? they told me the previous batch of batts has lotssssss of problems.. and they are aware of it.. so.. in short.. i got a free new batt :) BTW.. life span of that batt is abt 1 1/2yr i think.. and i changed it at ubi.. :yehyeh:
