Battery Choise?

[swampy_swimmer]

Hi, my battery finally died this morning.
I just want to get an opinions what battery would be the best choice for 2002 T4R, considering NY winter. Temperature here gets down to about 5-10F in the winters.

thanks all.

My #1 choise would half to be the Optima Yellow top. They're a little pricey, but worth it haha

Deep Cycle?? Do I really need it? I don't have winch... or anything like that.

The cheapest battery you can afford with the highest RC and CCA that will fit.

I like interstate but any battery with identical specs are probably the same unless one is Deka.

If you have an Advance Auto here is a $50 off coupon from another forum. It worked for me the other day.

Advance Auto $50 off of $100 Purchase - Tacoma World Forums


I got an Optima red top last year using the same coupon. You buy and pay online and go pick it up in the store.

Sears Platinum is supposed to be the best. Optima #2. The Optima has a three year replacement warranty.

I've had Interstate in my past vehicles and were very pleased. They had a great warranty and good customer service.

Interstate MPT24F. Get it!

Minimum a interstate ever lasted me was 6 years. I had a MTP34 last 12 years in my daytona.

DieHard Platinum, Interstate, or Odyssey.

Any battery will work that has the correct cold cranking amps (CCA) rating.

You spend more for more months of warranty. There are only two or three battery manufacturers making all of those batteries with different brand names on them.

Interstate, DieHard (except for the Platinum), and Kirkland (Costco) are all made by Johnson Controls for example.

x2 with shootmymime. Gots the Interstate MTP-24F in both Runners. They're Toyotas, so they generally start anyway. A little extra assurance doesn't hurt -

You have to remember that most of these regular batteries are made by Johnson Controls. I'm talking Interstate, AAP, Vatozone, whatever. The name on the sticker doesn't mean much. It's all about CCA's, Reserve Capacity, and warranty. Costco changed their battery labeling to Interstate but they are the same batteries. They have great warranty and customer service.
