Just to let everybody know that I have found myself a good replacement battery. The brand is AMARON from India. At first found it via the internet. Contacted the Singapore dealer and was asked to contact a shop in JB. I was told all Singapore NTUC taxis are using this brand. Got myself a one size bigger model - HL-105D31R. Now my Prado starts faster than before. Paid RM420 for it. The Yuasa cost me RM300 a year ago. (Amaron's parent company is Johnson Controls.)

fully agree... 2 of my car had change 2 to 3 battery for the past 1 year, damn bad luck.
furthermore, have to send my car to electrician to check the wiring, alternator to confirm there is no electricity leak, and the shop owner still bising bising and give me the new battery under warranty..... like i am cheating him for fun....
for diesel car, i just check alternator and buy a new battery, 1 shop sell me lousy brand and warranty only 1 week (being cheated), 2nd shop - yokohama brand only give 6 month warranty for diesel brand..... now i always plug off the battery of the car whenever the car is not used for more than 3 day.......

It's the higher diesel engine heat that kills the battery fast.
