    Lots of options and price difference. Depends on budget and use case etc.

    I just replaced mine with an x2 power (Northstar) 27m for $340

    to clarify this further,

    80% daily driver
    20% overlanding trips with fridge running off battery up to 12-13 hours between runs.

    other than that nothing special.

    The Northstar and Odyssey Batteries are a popular choice on here but are pricey, you could always hit up AutoZone for one of their AGM 24F

    I'm running Odyssey batteries in my and my wife's daily drivers and they've been excellent. Some claim 8-10 years of life out of an Odyssey, though I've not had one long enough to confirm. If they last anywhere near that long, and you're the type to keep a vehicle, they more than cover their extra cost.

    I used to run Optimas but their prices have skyrocketed while their quality has dramatically dropped off.

    The Odyssey in my car just failed, it was 1 month shy of 11 years old, helluva good battery.

    The OEM is actually terrible. I'm on my second and it leaks. :(

    I installed a Northstar AGM Group 31 with a CBI battery tray. It has been great. Installed at only 13k miles on the factory battery. I wasn’t trying to have mine crap out like some have when I’m out in the middle of nowhere camping. 0A9EE43E-51C8-4062-BE01-4AD334A05699.jpg
