Will the NS60 battery fit to Kancil stock battery compartment?

Your problem will still exist after replacing to a NS60 battery if you do not upgrade your existing alternator & improve your grounding, charging/supply wires. tongue.gif

I would go for the better brand lead-acid ones like Yokohama given the choice of your current application.

Saw many Kancil before already replace with 60amps one without any mounting mods bought from chop-shop, dunno from which ori-donor car.

Regarding commercial automotive batteries available at the moment are as follows; Dry Cell, Maintainence Free & lead-acid type.
Would not re-comend maintainence-free batteries as our climate & heat from our car's engine bay within KL jams will surely kill them sooner than lead-acid ones other than those vehicle which do not have their batteries in the engine compartment.
Dry Cell batteries(Marine-Battery) which have much higher 'CCA' are still too expensive for commercial mass import sales in Malaysia. Even this type of battery are also heat sensitive & proven to encounter extreame 'drop' once it encounters hot enviroments.
So it's our ever reliable cheap lead-acid battery to stretch our $$ in the long run. If possible have one the 'biggest' to be install within the engine compartment with slight mods to the current mounts.
