Battery needs replacing; what to get?

[Jeremy556]

Running a fridge was taking its toll on my stock battery (not a deep cycle), and when winching the voltage would drop, a lot.

AAA. I just replaced mine on my Crew Max a couple of months ago. Called the 800 number. He arrived 15 minutes later, tested the system, cleaned my terminals, took the old battery and popped a new one in. Done in 30 minutes , for about 100 bucks.

Gotcha, so a replacement terminal may address that. Do you have a picture of it installed by chance?

Nope, but it looks pretty much like this:

The large post on the back of the military terminals makes it very easy to add circuits to the terminal. I have my stock connection, accessory fuse box, and my winch connected to mine.

Wow, already? just replaced the original Panasonic battery in my wife's '03 4Runner with over 200k miles. i just got the TrueStart from the dealer (no, it is not same as factory, pretty sure you can't buy a new Panasonic battery). i just checked my '10 4Runner and it has a Panasonic. really surprised you are replacing already. i will say this, we tested her Panasonic battery several years ago at AutoZone and it tested "bad". it never let us down, my wife asked me to replace it as it was just starting to start the vehicle slowly. she didn't like the "just call AAA" response.

I recently replaced my alternator in my 2005 SR5 I’m right at 180,000. The previous owner put a new alternator in at 90,000. Anyways I’m going to be putting my audio system back in my runner with a new setup it’s going to have a 1,500 watt peak power 750 watt rms AMP. When I put this in I’m going to be upgrading The Big 3 and was curious if I need to purchase a better aftermarket battery right now I’m running just the standard Walmart 24F 600 CCA I believe.
Along with the Amp I have a few extra LEDs and 12v power outlets one that is always on running my Dash Cam almost as a security camera.
What’s y’all opinion on new battery or Keep the same one.
I’m going to be replacing the Big 3 with 0/1 g and all new terminals and 4guage power wire for the Amp

When the time comes, I'd like to find another panasonic battery. I've had great results with them. On my Tc is lasted 9 years! Walmart batteries have been terrible. Some lasting less than a year. Get what you pay for I suppose.

Dang.......5 year old thread lol.

If you find the Panasonic let us know as well. A lot of people swear by them
