And their warranty is 3 years free replacement, better than NAPA's which is 2 years. Nice.

Im running a 24F X2Power battery. From what I understand it is a rebranded Northstar AGM. I am happy with it. Owned it for about a year and no problems so far plus it has a 5 year warranty.

I’ve been running the Napa AGM Legend 24 series for about a year. It’s awesome to have a battery that doesn’t leak off-road, and the charging requirements are within the factory charging abilities. Not all AGM batteries can be fully charged with the factory charging system.
Plus you can find 20% off deals through Napa fairly often.

I was running Autocraft Gold from Advanced Auto Parts, but after 2 years it is getting bad. Since there is no Advanced Auto in my area they are still honoring my warranty and refunding me for whichever battery I choose.

Autocraft Gold from Advance Auto Parts. 3-year warranty. I think it's the 24F, I know it's 700 CCA. It replaced the STOCK Panasonic-Toyota battery in my '05 V6. :dizzy:
I'm sure you'll be recommended plenty of interesting, exotic choices, but I'm a fan of using a battery from a major retailer that's easy to find and replace via warranty if something goes wrong.

Hopefully the replacement lasts much much longer, as these are generally well regarded batteries. You highlight why I like a major brand from a major retailer. Ease of Warranty replacement fi things go bad.

Advanced Auto had great customer service when I called their corporate office to explain the situation. I would buy from them again if the closest location wasn't 100 miles away. The Autocraft Gold got me through 1 Florida summer and 2 cold Idaho winters so can't complain.

I get from a national retailer.
For the most part, a battery is a battery is a battery.
As long as you have at least 700 CCA's you should be fine.
Specialty batteries mean specialty prices from specialty stores that have specialty hours.
Get from a national retailer and you'll have no problem getting a replacement because we all know they will fail at the worst time in the worst place.

Exide XMC-31 group 31m marine/RV AGM. Had it for 2 years in my 2016 Tacoma, moved it over to the 4Runner when I dumped the Taco. Fantastic performance. Ran my fridge for 5 days with no solar and no engine recharge. Voltage was still above 12 when I finally broke camp.
