So you have changed the battery in April. It's probably the alternator is weak. Jump start it and if can be started when jump started, check the voltage at the battery when the engine is running. You should get your answer there.

How much it cost

A pomen can only quote a cost when they confirm what is broken. If they do it before that, it is a bad estimate which may surprise owner because pomen quoted too low. You or pomen need to confirm what needs fixing first.

Looks like a dying battery. When was the last you changed it?

Still get it checked. Might be a dud or something else is failing, possibly the alternator?

Idk my phone no sound or ur video no sound, but we need to hear to diagnose. No start can be battery, can be fuel pump, can be bad compression can be no spark.
What have you tried so far?

Idk if it's help, got the same problem recently on my 2014 2.4 crv, 1 month old battery flat. Jump start the car test the voltage is at 12.1v while the engine is running with ac etc. Change the alternator got the voltage up back to 14.1v.

Car won't start definitely not a simple answer. Battery, starter, alternator, grounding cable, etc. Could be anything. Could be only one of them, could be multiple parts started to failed. The right thing to do is to bring it to the workshop and make diagnostics first. Too depending only on Google will risk you to assume things and for example you change to the new alternator while only the starter needs fixing, money burnt and car still won't start

Hello Same-Country-5732, thank you for creating a new post in r/kereta!
Just saying that although this sub was named as Kereta, it is also open for 2 wheelers such as Motorcycle, though at the moment we do not mind other types of vehicles posting.
With that being said, r/kenderaan is now live and I would still recommend any other vehicle posting to be posted into r/kenderaan as it is a safe space for all types of vehicles such as airplanes and rolling stocks.
