what is the capacity of our Latio battery?  45AH or 60AH?

Any problem ( eg. under charge) If I change to a larger one?

started this thread to answer question from newbies, but please, search before you ask. =]

let the questions begin..

bro, wan to check with u on the AC...
if we set to 25'C, or 20'C, how the ac system work? do it get the specifed temp via the mixing of the hot air and cold air ? or the compressor is varaible? or a thermostate to cut in /off ??

next ?, how to set a reply or a reminder email if the forum topic of mine is been replied ?

tks

[vypez]

for the aircon, setting it @ 25 will result in a mix of hot and cold air if running on auto mode. once it hits 25c, it will cut off. compressor will always pump out cold air. if hot air is needed, it simply draws from engine bay.

er.. i think it's under profile. you can set a reminder. not too sure about this. technical questions can lah..

bro,
thks for yr reply.
the reason i am asking was that i find that the air at 25'c is not cold and it is sometime only....let say,if normal case, when just start the engine and you set at 25'c and at auto, it should be blowing cold air right??

bro, car's compressor not as strong.. thus sometimes may not be too accurate. it takes a little while to cool down.. =]

Any fellow Lation experience v poor torque when going up slope, e.g. ECP towards Keppel, noticed RPM 2K, then 60Km/h, even try to whack harder on pedal, still moving v slowly
