Just get your battery changed at Tan Chong, at 50% discount since your car is in its 2nd yr.

My stock battery lasts me for 2 years 9 mths, still going strong. However, after hearing so much of the dead batteries without giving any signals / warnings, and in order to have a peace of mind, finally decided to change at TC. With this, able to enjoy the 25% discount, total about $84 (with gst). Ha ha, managed to squeeze to the last drop from TC.  ;D

Hopefully will last me for another 3 years.

Amaron batteries are lasting. Get the Amaron Pro whioch comes in a green colour body. This is the high end one.

 http://www.amaron.in/

It comes with 60 months (5 yrs) warranty in India but i am not sure how many months warranty it has in Singapore.

If I remember correctly, only 1 years, 2nd year will get a 50% off.
The battery last me about 2.5 years
