How long does the OEM battery last?
My '16 SR5 has 75k miles and is still on the OEM Panasonic battery. It works fine but I plan to replace it in a few months before winter comes and it fails. The car is 6.5 years old since I purchased it. When and what was the mileage when you replaced yours? Should I replace it soon?

This is part of what i was going to post. If you feel like you might have battery issues, I'd get it tested, and also, i'd put a multimeter on your alternator and make sure it's putting out the factory charging numbers (usually around 13-14 volts) All that aside, i've had batteries last as long as 5-6 years on some vehicles and some cheaper units last less than 3 years. Vehicles on a trickle charger or battery tender can last indefinitely if they're cycled properly. |

We have one of those jump boxes as well, but too big and heavy to keep in the vehicle. The little Li Ion do hickey is perfect size. Guess the main thing is remembering to keep it charged. |
Replaced the original Panasonic battery in my 17 last year.
This is in AZ which is brutal on batteries (and most everything else) Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk |

The Panasonic was working just fine at the time I replaced it. It was coming into winter and I was pulling a travel trailer down to Florida then over to Texas. We were to be 3 months on the road and I didn't want to have any starting worries. I'm still using the battery I bought in 2015. |
I bought a smaller one about palm size and it works well, but can only be used twice when fully charged. Don’t like the usb charger though. Wonder why don’t they include a standard charging cable?

2016 with 80K miles here, original battery still going strong without any signs of impending failure, don't plan on replacing until it starts showing its age. Of course, now that I said all that it'll probably crap out on me next week ...

Good time to replace it with a new one if you're doing any remote trips. Would suck to be stranded

‘18 SR5 w/50,000 miles. Still running the OEM Panasonic. No corrosion, never have serviced it. Truck is regularly used over dirt roads and trails, in snowy winter weather, warm summers.
I bought an ‘02 Tacoma TRD 4x4 pickup new, which had a Panasonic battery. Replaced it in 2009 when the truck had over 100,000 miles on it. It was during winter with subzero weather. If run daily it would start. If attempted without running it the day before, it would just click. I jumped it with my jumper box a few times then replaced it. |
Replaced my 2014 trail last spring jut because summer was coming here in Texas.
