  hi guys , wat happens when ur batt gets weak?
  for electric starters, this might become a major prob 2 start ur bikes
  for kick starters, wat wil u do?
  since rectifier is working fine, u stil get the lights on when u ride, so doesnt need much bother..
  should i go change the batt? or is there a way to recharge it?
  btw, how much does a dry cell batt cost?

  try using dry cell lor, it's better. For mine, i'm riding Nsr and it cost $35 to get one. Try push start your bike, should be able to run. And try to switch off your headlight when starting coz it consume alot.

  hey, try to change the battery or get it serviced (battery water, clean connections etc) first, and get it properly charged up at the shop. if the problem persists, might be something else already. ah paiseh.. i dunno how to tell if it's an alternator or rectifier problem.. kekek..

  You can recharge your batts at most motortiam. If your batts go flat again very quickly, check 3 things, the recharging coil, battery and the cabling.

  ermmm.. low batt??
  
  always check ur batt water..
  do a check everymonths
  sometime ur batt become low coz it lack of batt water..
  dont use dry cell.. coz when it is low, no recovery can be made..
  
  i discover that u dont need to use batt water to top up ur batt.
  the other time my batt water was low, i accidentaly top up my batt water wif a cleaning solution! coz i got this cleaning solution looked juz like my bottle of batt water. i came to a stunned when bubbles start to come out! and ur right! it works! temporary of cause! maybe u can use water?? hmm.. not sure but remember to check your batt water every month..
  
  Alrighty then...

  I changed my batt for my SP last Nov at Ah Bee motor Thiam at Alexandra village. It cost $25 for a dry cell there, including installation. Should be able to last for at least a year or more!
