Does Battery Swapping Really Works Or Waste Of Money? by Bullfallo(m): 4:47pm On May 02, 2023 |
On Saturday I went to market to repair my battery as one of the terminal had issue, I gave it to battery charger to charge and fix but he couldn't fix it after weeks, so I took it from him and went straight to market. I was told to swap it I shouldn't waste my time trying to do anything with it. So I agreed to swap the battery and the swap battery work just fine. It's a used battery. This morning as I on the ignition and scan my car it was still the error code it last displayed so I clear the error code. Remove the scanner and put in my other Bluetooth scanner I want to do live scan while driving the car. As I start the car the dashboard light blinks. Oh. I tried again same thing so I came down to remove the battery terminal and put them Very well again. I tried starting it same thing. I leave it for some minutes and attempt to start again. Same thing. I called the battery guy he kept telling me stories he is not around now that he will call me when he gets to office. Since morning. Right now I tried calling him but his phone switched off. I want to know if ignation for ODB2 scan can drain battery? It's not up to 2-3 minutes with rolling the glass up. . The mistake I made was not starting the car at once. The problem is my scanner cannot clear code when the engine is running. I'm stock at home and couldn't go anywhere. I have ordered for battery charger online. That one will takes nothing less that 8days or so. |

Bullfallo: Sell the car and buy another with manual transmission. So when battery is bad and you can't afford it, park on a slope then you can utilize "push to start" to start vehicle anytime you need to. 5 Likes |

nurey:why you de reason like this. Battery is cost doesn't mean I can't afford it. I prefer jump starter than buying new battery at this time. I just ordered battery charger and jump starter device. The price is more than getting a new battery. I plan to change the car in a year time. The guy just pick my call and said he will come to my house with another battery. I was only telling him I need a relable battery that can hold charged. |

nurey:I have already told myself to buy jump starter for emergency. I hate when people beg me for my car battery. So instead of removing my battery I will help them with the jump starter. It's a small portable device like power bank in a emergency portfolio case. And to add to it it has a tyre inflatable device too. When this thing happened this morning I blame myself for not buying it since as my spirit have been telling me. Because my mechanic spoil my battery. While I add the battery charger is something like this too. I would have removed the battery and charger at home. Instead of running up and down looking for where to charge battery. Na the reason why I vex add the battery charger. |

Bullfallo:You don't have a generator at home? I use my generator to charge my battery, no need for car battery charger. Just 15-20 mins of charging and it can be used to start a car. |
