Are roadside mechanics in Pakistan properly equipped to detect the real cause of battery failure in Changan Kalam?

Wrong diagnosis often leads to repeated replacements. Are battery tests and voltage checks being done correctly at local workshops?

Not always:

Most use trial-and-error methods, often replacing the battery without checking the alternator o r parasitic drains.

Voltage tests, current leakage tests, and battery load testing are rarely done outside major dealerships.

This results in misdiagnosis, especially when the actual cause is a relay fault, fuse box drain, o r bad ground.
