Buy a second hand battery

Yeah changed mine outside. Still work.

so if I buy m42 battery which is meant for start/stop from outside shop it should work just fine? Bcs I do see comments around like post #19 saying the function is lost after changing the batt?

what brand did you change to?

Mine currently when I start the car the yellow A auto stop symbol will blink few times. From what I search people say this is 1 of the early sign of batt dying???

Not really higher capacity per se, it's using a slightly better battery tech, EFB, but not as good as the AGM batteries used in hybrids.

Outside of cos can buy as long as it M42 EFB type.

To check if the battery is indeed degrading, just ask the battery shop to do a battery test.

Auto start/stop function is the most useless feature of the modern car.

This is what I don't understand, since it's the most useless feature in a modern car, then why are customers still buying vehicles with this feature in the first place ? It's like buying an overpriced model with this feature but then only to turn the feature off later. Wouldn't it be better to buy a Myvi without this feature at all ?

I think if you opt out of this, you don't get ADAS too. Last I remember, ss is available in AV variant jer.

Not only that, but battery killer as well

Just order from shopee battery supplier and fix a date , trade in old battery for extra rebate

Look for 400 CCA and 40mAH M42 battery

I change my battery at Battery Hub just because it was the one near my house open on Sunday. I could not recall the name but it is a Korean battery. No problem and it is almost a year now. No need to reset anything or lost anything. Just make sure the engine is running during the battery change.

I'm not sure about the blinking but I think it is always like that.During start or just power on, it is just self-test routine to check every function is working fine. If one of the light did not go off, then it is fault indication. Logically why need to have the Auto On/Off light blink few times to indicate battery problem when you have battery light indicator which makes more sense to show battery problem?
