Battery kong

Short sharing session

1. I am using battery cell basah. Meaning to say, every few months, I am supposed to check/maintain the battery-fluid level. Usually, if the fluid level drops below critical line, it will show symptoms...

2. Since TheWife uses the car, I dont really catch the symptoms. Today, while driving in Wangsa Maju, at the traffic lights, the radio started to flick. I said; did you see that? When was the last time we check the battery-fluid? TheWife said; Dont worry, it happened all the time.
What??? Since when?? You should have told me then... It means that...

3. Guess what?? That was the perfect and sweet moment for the car to stop. I tried to start for few times, but it failed. Dgn macho nya, I put on the emergency blinkers and guided the other cars to pass by. TheWife took over the driver seat and I was pushing the car from the back, since we were blocking the main road. And Aisyah was cheering and clapping, not understanding that the situation was critical...

4. I was jogging around the area, looking for auto-shops that sell battery-fluid. Since today is public holiday, none of them were opened. I jogged further ahead until I met Petronas gas station. From it, I got what I wanted and continued my marathon training to my car. After that, problem solved! All of sudden, I realised that my morning joggings were meant for this, JK...

5. Moral of the story, get to know your car, take care of it! I am glad that happened when there were 2 of us. Imagine that, it happens when you are alone, good luck then! So, that's my story, hopefully we can learn from it.
