Battery Upgrade and Electrical Power Supply Stuff

I just ordered an Odyssey ODX-AGM31M (31M-PC2150ST)

I found a tray that I think will pair nicely also.

$544 Odyssey Battery ODX-AGM31M Extreme Series AGM Battery

battery tray - https://a.co/d/7DIj7HF

This was the most cost efficient option I was able to deduce from my internet research, as of the date of this posting, for this particular battery.

 

$543 for a battery???

 

OP- where do you plan on mounting that tray? It’s a universal tray, so I it wont “bolt in” to any position on the Tacoma. Why not order a tray designed for the tacoma and battery? Also, idk if you’re aware but the stock alternator and ECM flash will not fully recharge an AGM battery, you’ll need a tune to correct it and get a full charge.

 

OE tray. And Amazon would be the last place I'd buy a battery.

 

I have a odyssey extreme. I think it's a 24f.

One thing to note is the difference in charge voltage.you can bump the voltage with vf tune but it's not perfect. The best way is to add a small 20w solar panel with a agm specific charge controller.

 

Since I have to replace my batteries every 2 years in 3 cars I buy the Wmart NeverStart for like $150 each.

I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a battery I have to replace every other year... perhaps if I lived in the mid-west or
up north but not in the desert. I don't care what kind of battery it is, every 2 years period.

 

Agm don't handle heat as well as flooded

This could be incorrect, see below

 

Interesting I wasn't aware -

 

Wait, I may be mistaken. I'm double checked my statement and I'm getting contradictory information.

 

I put an Odyssey in my GX470 in late 2018 (might have been January 2019?) and it's still kicking. Looks like prices have gone up, though!

 

I have 3 Odyssey batteries in my vehicles. The oldest one is over 12 years old. No tender. And still going strong. It also helps that I live just outside Warrensburg, MO and can visit the EnerSys plant and buy factory rejects.

 

This is the battery I use and I have got eight years out of one. Where I live we don’t have harsh winters or summers so probably any battery will last 60 months.

 

Full Throttle FT840-24F Starter Battery for me. Now the house battery setup is different.

Damn! Dropped some coin on that one...

 

I did all the work myself and made the wires myself pricey part was the REDARC BCDC 40.

 

This one should last ten years and be able to jumpstart a cruise ship

 

I plan to use my noco ten app charger until I am able to have my computer reflashed again for increased alternator voltage

 

Yes I already spoke to my overland taylor tuning guy and he said he would be happy to adjust my alternator voltage. tray will go in the same location

Although I did have to use one of the stock posts to hold the aft side of the battery tray down. in the future, I will likely use the replacement post and a grinder to cut it shorter.
