Oga,buy another one,the old one is rechargeable but will not last and you must have spent money and if you're buying new one,go to battery company cos our brothers that sell this know how they rebore battery. Take heed.

was told it was the alternator but i have just bought a new one and replaced it.
Though my car has security but was told its not the cause.

Thanks honmusa

op are u really sure is your battery that's faulty?

last Thursday I took my car out although the battery was weak cos is been a while I parked the car without removing the terminal , so I branched in a shop to buy some items but it wasn't funny when. I start the car and refused to start. my mind straight is that the battery is having problem and I asked for battery chargers around who asked me to pay #700 after a lot of negotiation.

he installed the battery but the car refused to start until I called rewire who leta confirmed the the kick starter is faulty. I need to spend extra 6k to fix it.

I will suggest u try another battery so u can be sure battery is the problem

check if the alternator is working well since u said your battery is just 6months

check your kick starter

Best of luck

the battery is not yet 6months, still contains electrolyte.

Shake the battery, if you hear liquid movement then it might be revived by changing electrolyte.

The battery charge indicator only has access to 1 cell of 6. The other 5 will have to be punctured using a hot metal. Resealing is always the major problem as it causes leakages which is corrosive to metal.

You will then need to buy electrolyte and replace.

Lastly, portable generators such as Sumec firman have DC chargers on some models. Do this connection and charge for at least 4hrs. The generator will know that there is a very low charge and will charge at 15.9v.

This process will not give you a 100% revived battery. With luck, 50%.

For the alternator, all you need to do is go to an electronics repairer, use his multimeter. Ask him to set it to 20v DC. While the car is idling (they call it slow or steaming), test the termimals. You should expect anything between 13.5-14.5v. If the alternator is bad, you will have less tha n 13.5v.

The shelf life of a conventional baterry is 4months. After this period batteries are meant to be subjected to optimum charge using a battery charger once in a while. Your car's alternator cannot give your battery an optimum charge. That's one of the reason why most batteries do not last in Nigeria asides from the it being substandard

K024:


What is the your source of information sir?
4 months battery life? Regular visit to battery charger? A healthy car alternator can't give battery an optimum charge?

All these assertions do not resemble my own experience o. Please educate me.

Macky4real:
How do u check d alternator?

Baawaa:
Is it a dry cell or water one Battery charger told me is repairable but he said is advisable to buy new one because repairing it might not solve the problem.

Rahym001:


yes i tried another battery before it could start

sorepco:
But if u repAir it it will last for 8-12 months.

lielbree:
Nope. Just find 12k buy new one

honmusa:

Even bad alternator will give 14.5v ,the best method is to load the battery with accessories and confirm the alternator voltage ,a good alternator should not fall below 13v.The theory is that the charging alternator voltage should be always be well above the battery it is charging all load conditions

my car battery just died, i went out with my car on trying to return home, my car battery could not even on my dash board light,. Had to borrow another to start my car but was told my battery can be repaired.

My question is can a car battery be repaired? cos i cant afford a new one now. You know the recession is biting very hard

When I say battery charger. I meant equipment not your road side kazeem battery charger. Get trained to get a much better experience perhaps you just a car owner. Read more about battery and charging system on cars

a new battery goes for 23k and above now for a 75 amps battery

Bros nor be so. Whether na by visit to kazeem the battery charger or by having the battery charging device. My point is "Stop confusing people by saying what you don't know".

Come to think of it, even though I was giving a false info could Robert Bosch be giving a false info. The info I gave there was Quoted from Robert Bosch and I have had several automobile trainings with them, so next time use your internet wisely to read
