Car Battery

[Makavelli]

I just bought a Chloride Exide battery less than 2 months ago but as of today the battery can't power the car. After numerous jumpstarting batt picks up but doesn't store power. Shida inaeza kuwa wpi?

Chloride Exide battery

Hapo

 

[shocks]

Pole, that brand has issues, enda uone if they will honor the warranty

 

[Makavelli]

Hapo

The last one served me for 3+ years and it was still of the same brand

Tafuta trickle charger ujaribu kama itaamsha battery.

you should check if you have charging issues with your alternator
get a Multimeter and check the voltage while the engine is running

when the headlights , radio, AC are on, you should get a reading of around 13.7v
when nothing is on, the voltage shroud be around 14.7v

They are trial and error type batteries. Just like Yana tyres.

 

[Cortedivoire]

rudisha huko uko na warranty

Genuine chrolide exide batteries are OK. Problem is that there are so many fakes, even from the so called authorized dealers.

you should check if you have charging issues with your alternator
get a multimeter/voltmeter and check the voltage while the engine is running

Fixed.

Fixed.

Voltmeter can measure only potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit. Multimeter is a multi-purpose instrument that can directly measure various parameters like potential difference, current, resistance, frequency, capacitance, etc. ... Multimeter can be used to test diodes and transistors.

get a millimeter and check the voltage while the engine is running

millimeter itatobwa kweli?

 

[Bolo Yeung]

Maxxis batteries are really good

 

[Nattydread]

Do not buy cheap again.

1. Do as you have been told and use a multimeter to establish that your alternator is delivering 13-14 volts when spinning.
2. If you have money, go and buy an Amaron battery:

3. If you cannot afford Amaron, go down Luthuli, shop on the right before the junction with River Road, and purchase an Incoe battery

That is apparent. He can use either to determine voltage.

What you had written though, was millimetre.

you got a bad batt. mine lasted me 4 years. it was a 12v/251cca/84min RC

take it back and tell them to replace it and tehy will. and do a load test as well.

my new one - CE ns70/417cca/84min-rc has not been turned on for a month and a quick load test showed it holding voltage and amperage.
