My car battery flat

3 Comments

While walking to my car after work, I heard a very familiar car alarm…the car alarm sound is weak. Until I reached my car, then I can confirm that the car alarm is from my car…damn, :( I tried to start my car using the ignition key and it failed, :( I also tried to switch on the car front light and the front light is dim, :( The conclusion here is my car battery is flat…

I quickly run to my office and get my colleague’s help (Mr. Alvin Lim PH). We performed a jump start using my jumper cables. With a few try on starting my car engine, I managed to get it started…phew, I let it run for 5 minutes to have the battery charged. I turned the ignition off. Finally, I can start my car as usual using the ignition key, :D

I would like to thank my colleague for his help…thanks bro, :)

I would like to grab this opportunity to remind all the car owners. Please purchase a jumper cables and put it at the back of your car. It is very useful.

    yeah agree wz u, it’s really help.
    u know wat, it happen to me many-many times. coz almost 90% of de car i drove was 2nd hand or even dun know how many hands. so, manyak ‘mou peng’ very frustrating ooooh.
    tat’s y i always adv my fren to consider a brand new car then a cheap 2nd hand car. coz normally it will keep u visiting de workshop almost every month. very inconvenient!

    Advise to get a thicker cable type of jump start cable. I tried once my car batt flat at Lowyat plaza car park, luckily can get help from the computer shop guy i used to buy from them. They drive X-Trial and jump start with thin cable, end up can’t start too. Luckily can get another thicker cable and it works.

    Bro, its time to change new car lor. Less problem and safer. I’m thinking to change too as my car engine sound too rough.
