What Battery To Use?

[mtnracer]

People talking about getting the yellow top for the 4th gen:

What model did you get?
If you got the D34, how did you fit the cables? Did you need an extension?

 

[Mr. Lambdebois]

make sure you get one that is equal to or above the CCA from the factory battery.

For us colder people.. more CCA = better.

Have 2003 4-Runner, now 11 years old w/98k miles - has factory battery still in her, getting little weak though (sure would like to find the same bat - Panasonic, but don't think you can get the same one in U.S.)
Looking at the Optima 34R, $147.33 w/free shipping. 800 CCA
Anyone had good or bad experience w/Optima Red Tops??? jw

It's a good battery. It's lasted me a while in my previous runner. Where are you getting a red top for $147?
