55B24LS for my Lancer – any difference between Japanese and locally made batteries?

I’ve got a 2019 Mitsubishi Lancer that I’ve been driving for a few years now, and the battery is starting to show its age with slow cranks and the occasional dimming of headlights when I’m stopped at traffic lights. I checked the label and it’s a 55B24LS size, which I know is super common for Japanese cars, but I’m honestly confused about whether I need to be picky about where the battery is actually manufactured. I’ve seen some shops selling batteries that claim to be “Japanese spec” at a premium price, while others have locally made or imported from other Asian countries for significantly less money. A friend told me that Japanese-made batteries tend to have better quality control and thicker plates that handle heat better, but I’ve also heard that the locally assembled ones are perfectly fine and you’re just paying extra for the branding if you go for the Japanese ones. The thing is, I don’t want to cheap out on something that could leave me stranded in the middle of summer, but I also don’t want to waste money on a premium battery if the cheaper one will last just as long in my relatively basic car that doesn’t have a lot of fancy electronics. I’ve also been told that the terminals can be slightly different sizes on some aftermarket batteries, and I don’t want to deal with the hassle of shimming the terminals or having a loose connection that causes intermittent starting issues. A colleague at work who also drives a Japanese car recommended I look for a Dedicated 55B24LS Battery Replacement Bur Dubai because apparently there are a few shops in that area that actually specialize in this size and know what to look for in terms of quality. Has anyone here tried both cheap and premium 55B24LS batteries and noticed a real difference in how long they lasted, or is it all pretty much the same once you get past the basic quality threshold? I’m trying to make a smart decision here because I want to keep this car for a few more years and I don’t want to be replacing batteries every 12-18 months if I can avoid it.
