Try this though, before you fire up the engine everyday, turn off all electronics first including air cond, auto headlamp , welcome lights and car audio.
I even hv a habit of switching off my air cond 200m before reaching my home and turn off engine.
So far my MF batteries can last me 4 years.Jap engine.

new cars already doing this automatically inclusive mine which is about 10 years old
they will cut all other power while pushing all power to starter.

\why not get a new one? ITs 5 years warranty with service. All you need is to pay for the installments.

Trouble free.

Why every parts of the car is improving but left out the pretty important 1? Killing a battery a year or 2 make the car brand bad. And why we cannot use other types of battery like those in the phone, I rather pay more for a much lasting solution than those fail me during critical moments.

the type of battery use in phone not safe lah

very easy to go boom if accident

new city n jazz hybrid battery using that battery type

7 years on the first one that came with the car, the second unit bought outside goin strong still after 4 years. But then again a Delco DIN100 isnt exactly cheap.

Same

Factory supply last 8 years, recently changed to DIN100 Varta Blue. - Rear battery
My other car use Panasonic DIN66 price around RM500 last 4++ years. You can get cheaper Century at RM200++ but yeah last only 1 year. - Front battery

Mind both car above at stock condition. My peers driving same car with 'ah beng' mentality add boom boom pow aftermarket gadget (speaker, HID, door step with light etc) last half from my battery life span.

last time approached by a guy selling thing which he claims can slow down the crystallization process

the last 3 car batteries i used are maintenance free, daily travel min 30 km except saturday and sunday, always respect the minimum road speed limit. seldom stuck into any jams. yet the battery die fast.

not to forget....the total crank you did in a day too.

another possibility is the inferior quality of the battery.

500-800 for a decent Din100 battery still beats the rm2800 they charging at the authorized service centre. Just need someone to reset the charging when you changed your batt. I did mine myself with a Foxwell scanning tool. Good investment.

Japanese car owner. Can't blame him. He hear say. So he won't jump in.

Anyhow those who owns one and experience it will know the truth.

Btw. Japanese cars are treated as transport not for driving pleasure. Unfortunately.
