I not much for throwing away a new battery. What the Yaris really needs is a larger alternator. The owners manual says that the Yaris alternator is too small to generate enough power to heat the rear window defroster. So the rear window defroster draws additional power from the battery. The owner manual warns owners not run the rear window defroster more than 20 minutes. So the Yaris does not recharge the battery very fast. So a number of short trips could leave the battery without enough power to start the Yaris.
