Car Battery~

Published 09/14/2006 in Cars. 9 Comments



After almost 2 weeks of no starting my car, the car won’t start when I tried to start it after coming back from Teluk Intan. I was so worried about it since I need the car to go to classes. So I asked my coursemate to fetch me to class today. After class, Hanwei came fetch me and we went to search for new battery. Actually the old battery can recharge and reuse but I chose to get a new one. The battery has been used for more than 4 years already and its better to change it. So this is what I got after searching for it.

Costed me RM160 for this. Those maintainance free battery is in the same price range but I chose this because its bigger in size compared to the maintainance free ones. It will cost me RM200+ if I buy those bigger size and maintainance free ones.. crazy.. Hopefully I won’t get any problems again… Broke.. haha..

    You are damn lucky your old battery can stretched for 4 yeras. Normally they died off within 2 years depending on the nature of your driving – like being in a jam with the air cond and the Cd player on.

    But a maintainence free ne is a better option from the hazel to check and fill up.

    Yeah… really lucky. I bet that old battery of mine will be still working if I go recharge it.. haha.. maintainance free ones is just too expensive..

    did u changed the battery urself?

    yeah I changed the battery myself since the car won’t start at all. Bought the battery from a garage and then changed it at home.. Ignore those blue wires.. those are actually grounding wires..

    Should’ve unplugged the batt before you left :)

    But anyways, since it’s been four years, changing it might be a good idea after all. I see some grounding cables :D

    [...] Damn there’s so many problems with my car lately. First its the battery, then I refill the air conditioner gas, now what? My car tire.. I was driving that day and suddenly I’m like sitting on a horse because the whole car just keep on “bouncing”. The steering was shaking “furiously” and I have to drive slow around 60kph just to get the car moving smoothly. The next day I took the car to a tire shop. Found out that one of the front tire bloated~ It was my spare tire.. ( long story but just keep in mind that I’m using an old spare tire on the front left). And so, I have to change the bloated tire. And since all my tires are already burned out, I called my dad to confirm that I’m going to change all those tires.. lol.. To confirm I can claim back the money from him later.. haha.. [...]

    Dude…

    When you change your own battery, do you need to remove the battery plugs at a particular order?

    Negative then Positive or Positive then Negative?

    I don’t think so… but not sure though. Would not cause any big problem if u disconnect it in different order.
