As one of the essential components in a car, the battery functions to store electrical energy needed to start the vehicle.
Due to its easy maintenance, many people today prefer using dry batteries compared to wet batteries. Moreover, there are several advantages of using a rechargeable dry battery, such as:
Longer durability compared to conventional batteries, thanks to the technology inside that ensures good electrical performance over a long period.
Easy to maintain compared to conventional batteries, which usually require regular electrolyte refills.
Easy and faster recharging capability.
Environmentally friendly as it can be recharged, reducing the number of discarded batteries and providing efficiency in resource management.
Optimal performance in various conditions, whether in extreme temperatures or for vehicles that are rarely used.
Since it can be recharged, the use of a dry battery also becomes a practical solution for users. However, doing so requires the correct steps and extra caution. So, how do you recharge a dry battery? Check out the following guide!
To ensure proper charging, the first step is to remove the dry battery from the vehicle to avoid potential risks or issues with the car.
To prevent overcharging, it is crucial to choose the type of charger that matches the specifications of the dry battery.
The next step is connecting the dry battery to the charger. Make sure the polarity is correct, then connect the charger’s positive clamp to the positive terminal and the negative clamp to the negative terminal.
With today’s modern technology, charging a dry battery is easier, as most chargers can automatically adjust the settings and the amount of charge needed by the battery.
Ensuring the right location when charging is also crucial. Typically, a well-ventilated area is the best choice.
Also, avoid charging near flames or flammable materials since batteries can produce hydrogen gas, which is highly flammable.
It is important to disconnect the dry battery immediately once charging is finished. Additionally, make sure to follow the charger’s instructions carefully throughout the process.
After charging is complete, the final step is to test the battery to ensure that the electrical capacity and voltage have returned to normal.
So, that’s the discussion regarding whether a dry battery can be recharged, the benefits of using it in vehicles, and the proper steps for recharging it. Hopefully, this guide is helpful!

Kita sering mendengar bahwa stress membawa dampak buruk bagi diri kita. Dampak negatif stress dapat menyebabkan insomnia, penurunan atau kenaikan berat badan, dan meningkatkan tekanan darah. Namun, Richard Shelton, MD, dari Department of Psychiatry, University of Alabama, Birmingham berpendapat bahwa stress tidak selalu buruk bagi kita (dikutip dari Health.com).
Stress berlebihan atau kronis memang berbahaya bagi kita. Ketika Anda merasa tertekan setiap waktu serta merasa seperti hilang kendali atas hidup, maka stress dapat menganggu kesehatan tubuh dan mental.
Tingkat stress rendah dan sedang yang kita hadapi sehari-hari mempunyai sisi positifnya tersendiri.
Stress tingkat rendah dapat memicu zat kimia dalam otak yang disebut dengan neurotrophins. Zat kimia ini dapat memperkuat koneksi antar neuron di dalam otak. Sehingga Anda bisa berkonsentrasi dengan lebih baik dan lebih produktif. Hal serupa juga ditemukan terjadi pada hewan. Stress tingkat rendah dapat mendorong daya kognitif hewan dalam jangka waktu pendek.
Ketika tubuh merespon terhadap stress, tubuh kita mempersiapkan diri terhadap kemungkinan terjadinya infeksi atau luka. Tubuh memproduksi zat bernama “extra interleukins” yang akan mendorong imunitas tubuh Anda, setidaknya untuk jangka pendek.
Ketika Anda belajar untuk mengatasi situasi yang memicu stress, Anda akan menghadapi situasi yang sama dengan lebih baik di masa depan. Contohnya, tentara SEAL dilatih untuk menghadapi situasi ekstrim. Sehingga ketika menghadapi situasi mendesak yang sesungguhnya, para tentara bisa mengontrol diri mereka untuk tetap tenang.
Good stress atau dikenal sebagai eustress bisa jadi berperan dalam pekerjaan atau studi Anda. Ketika dihadapkan dengan deadline atau ujian, maka otak akan terstimulasi untuk menganalisis situasi dan mengatasi masalah dengan lebih efektif serta produktif. Kuncinya adalah melihat stress sebagai hal tak terhindarkan, bukan sebagai beban yang tidak bisa diatasi.
Mungkin Anda juga pernah merasakannya. Ketika deadline semakin dekat, maka Anda berusaha menyelesaikan pekerjaan dengan lebih efisien. Ketika ada kompetisi di lingkup kerja atau studi, Anda juga bisa terdorong untuk memberikan performa kerja yang lebih baik.
Ternyata, ada juga sisi baik dari stress. Namun, jika Anda merasa stress secara konstan, sebaiknya Anda berkonsultasi dengan tim professional untuk mendapatkan bantuan.

The car’s identification number, also known as its chassis number, is created as a marker of authenticity for motor vehicles. Each vehicle has a different number officially assigned by the manufacturer.
Therefore, a vehicle’s chassis number, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number, contains a unique set of codes defined by the vehicle manufacturer.

The car’s chassis number serves as a permanent identifier for the vehicle. It can be used to track information such as the vehicle’s origin, year of manufacture, brand, model, engine size, and various other details.
You can find the identification number in several parts of your vehicle, such as the dashboard near the windshield, the side of the driver’s door, and on the engine block or transmission.
The vehicle’s chassis number is also used to access the vehicle’s history, such as service records, accident history, and to verify authenticity and ownership.
For car owners, knowing the identification number is very important. Especially when dealing with vehicle-related matters like servicing, paying taxes, and more.
Generally, a car chassis number consists of 17 alphanumeric characters that have a mix of letters and numbers, which are unique for each vehicle.
In Indonesia, chassis numbers follow the VIN format based on ISO 3779, consisting of 17 characters divided into 3 sections:
The first 3 digits are known as WMI or World Manufacturer Identifier
Digits 4 to 9 are known as VDS or Vehicle Descriptor Section
Digits 10 to 17 are known as the VIS or Vehicle Identifier Section
For example, MH8AA1D42JK123456, which means:
Characters 1-3 indicate the country of origin and manufacturer. For example, MH8 for the Suzuki vehicle made in India.
Characters 4-9 indicate vehicle type, engine model, body type, etc.
Character 10 indicates the production year, represented by a letter or number.
Character 11 shows the assembly plant where the vehicle was manufactured.
Characters 12-17 represent the serial number, unique to each vehicle.
Besides checking offline by visiting the SAMSAT office, vehicle owners, especially those with a B license plate in the Jakarta area, can now check the chassis number online using the Cek Ranmor & Pajak DKI Jakarta app. Here’s how:
Download the Cek Ranmor & Pajak DKI Jakarta app from the Google Play Store.
Open the app and log in using your Google account or register manually.
Once logged in, enter the required data such as NIK and vehicle information. Make sure the NIK matches the registered vehicle owner’s data.
Click the Search button to start looking for the car identification number.
If the data is correct, detailed information about the vehicle will appear, including the chassis number, license plate number, tax details, service records, and more.
So, that’s a quick explanation about a car’s identification numbers. From their purpose to how to check them online through an app.
For car owners, this number is very important and can be used to verify the authenticity of a vehicle, especially when buying or selling a used car. Hope this information helps!
