Glow plug / battery problem

Hi there,

Recently I have had problems starting my pzj 70. Sometimes it starts fine and other times i turn the key and it just makes a "click" and the motor doesn't crank. The glow plug light always stays on until the engine has started but that has always happened.

My battery is a Delkor N5OZMF 12v 55 amp and i think it may be too small?? I took the battery out and had the load tested and it was fine and held the charge.

When it wouldn't start the other day, I put another battery in that was bigger and it started fine

I only drive 2000 km per year in it. I am in Panama (tropics)

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Much appreciated
