Can someone recommend a good battery for 2008 V6 SR5?

[ddicosmo]

My trusty original Panasonic battery has finally died after 12 years. I'm now looking for a replacement. What is a good replacement battery for the 2008 SR5 V6 4x4?

I also forgot to mention that I live in the Northeast USA where it snows alot so I need something that's good for that environment. Thanks,


Dave.

I buy all my batterys from Costco, can't beat the price and full return if it fails within 42 months.

Walmart Ever start Maxx. They been good for us. Probably won't last 12 years though.

i put the Bosch batteries in both my vehicles, 4runner & F250.
All 3 still running strong after 4 years. PepBoys markets the Bosch batteries.

Yep, these are good batteries. Most batteries are made by 2 or 3 companies with different stickers and may be different internally. Check out this recent video from Projectfarm.

Ive been running an Optima Red for the last 6 years in my ‘08 6 cyl. Need to make sure you get batt with terminals on the correct side.

This was me a couple years ago... I was happy/impressed with the oem battery that I just walked back into the Toyota dealership and asked for a new one. It's been fine these past couple years.

I’ve had an Optima Red for maybe three years now. No complaints. Only time will tell how long it will last. I can look at the part number for you if you need in the morning, it was weird figuring out the correct one at the time I think.

If you liked OEM, I’ve heard of people downloading coupons to specific local dealerships online and getting them for a good deal. Might be worth calling around.

Interstate batteries are great. Even better when you get them at Costco for much less than most any battery elsewhere.

Why not buy another Panasonic?

Toyota

I have had good luck with Toyota batteries, one on my 93 truck lasted 9 years and the current battery in the same truck is going on 6. My 99 3rd. gen is also running Toyota battery and my 87 FJ60 is going on 5 years on a group 27 battery.

From what I understand they don't sell them in this country. They only go in new cars made in Japan.

Id go with another toyota battery. My v8 4runner is 14 years old and in on my 2nd battery. Just got a quote for my v6 4runner battery from toyota parts and it was 100.00.

If not get a MAXX battery from Wal-Mart. They are 94.00 with a 3 year unconditional warranty and a addl 2 year prorated. Plus Wal-Mart's are everywhere in case something happens.

It looks like you are right. I called the local dealer and they have the Toyota TrueStart battteries made by Interstate.

I was told true start batteries were made by Johnson controls or claria.

I don't know. The parts guy at my local dealer told me Interstate. Go figure.
