Battery choice?

There's a group buy on the Northstar batteries right now, but it sounds like it might be ending tomorrow, so act fast: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/northstar-battery-group-buy-9-0.635953/

 

I just installed this AGM made by Johnson Controls two days ago. It was $149.00 at Walmart with no core charge. I figured at almost one-half the cost of some batteries, I’d try it out.

I was also looking at a Duracell AGM and the X2 AGM for 10% off at Batteries Plus Bulbs.

The stock battery was leaking/corroding at the top front seam.

 

Damn 3 years is a long time on a stock battery

 

My stock was 3 years and still showed good voltage numbers I only replaced it for peace of mind.

 

If your under warranty they will replace it. If you go AGM Northstar they are solid running a bunch of stuff.

 

I never spend a lot on batteries and typically get 5-6 years out of them. WI is a good test environment and as soon as they struggle to turn the motor over below 10 deg they get replaced. I have been getting Road Runner Supreme 72mo batteries up here in the midwest from Fleet Farm for the last 30+ years and had great luck. They stand behind them and pro-rate early failures without question. I don't recall spending over $100.

What?

 

Interstate. Everybody and their dog sells them. Mine cranks great with it.

 

FML auto correct

 

Autocraft platinum agm 24F batteries are very good batteries and can usually get them online for 20% off and pickup in store at advanced auto parts. Come with 4 year replacement warranty and always been reliable for me

 

Walmart Platinum with 5 year replacement (24F) for me too. Black Friday for $139.95 with no core, but did tax me.

 

Bigger than a group 31?

 

Umm that I’m not sure about. I don’t think it’s bigger than a group 31. My 24F fits inside the oem battery cage. It is heavy though. Probably 40 lbs if I were guessing

if you’re asking if it comes in a group 31 I think that it does

 

Costco Interstate. Under $100. It's all a normal weather city truck needs.

Johnson Controls makes the exact same battery for a bunch of brands, that each charge wildly different prices. The Walmart Everstart ones are pretty cheap and have great performance and made by JC.

Project Farm is a great channel- I really like his testing methodologies most of the time.
