Replacement cranking battery

G'Day Guys
I have never had any issues with my D4D '12 cranking batt. until I left the ignition turned on for 8+ hours & the batt. ran almost flat. I'm very happy that the orig. has lasted 7 years
I have tried to resurrect batt. with a batt. charger, but it is starting to sound like a machine gun regularly & I have to use a 18650 batt. pack via cig. lighter to get the ute going.
I have found this recommendation -> https://www.newhilux.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=24974#p371082 for a "D27F yellow top" & I have a 2nd battery & redarc 2nd batt. balancing / isolator etc. so I dont want to have to deal with any cable issues after install all of this 'stuff'.
This discussion is almost 4 years old, so wanting to know
- Anyone bought a D27F yellow top recently ?
- If you did how much did you pay ?
- Anyone got a better suggestion than a yellow top ?
Thanks
