Need a New Battery…recommendations?

That works for 2nd gens, not 3rd gens.

 

Interstate. If you live in an area of the country where the winters are cold: Pick one with the highest CCA rating (Cold Cranking Amps) and Reserve Capacity you can find that will fit in the space under the hood on your truck. (applies regardless of the brand) Size 27F should be the biggest that will fit and give you 710 CCA.

 

Thanks for the heads up... I'll look into it a bit more!

NAPA batteries are made by EPM.

 

Our 2020 GX460 battery pooped out last week. Went to Walmart and got it replacement with an AGM option.

I expect it to last another last another 4 years or so.

Walmart/Costco/Autozone, all good options.

Happy hunting

 

If you are a AAA member, get the AAA-rated Napa Legend.

 

Our 2017 4Runner OEM battery was getting a little weak, Everstart Maxx went in last week. Those Panasonic batteries last forever but you can't get them here. The one in our '06 4Runner lasted 9 years.

 

What I got for our Sequoia, $100 cheaper than Autozone wanted for the same thing.

 

i can only stand to go to wally world about once a year and it has to save me alot of $ to go

 

I go 2x a yr. One of my biannual trips was last week. I'm still recovering. Walmart in a metropolitan area is like a different country. I try to drive to more rural areas for the excursion. It's much more tolerable.

 

One can buy any preference/brand/type of a battery he/she wants. I just pick one up at Walmart which I believe it’s been the best bang for my buck serving the purpose I need.

 

Another vote for the 24F AGM from Wally World. I have a noco genius 10 to charge it whenever I remember and I keep a

$100 noco gb40 : 1000A ultrasafe jump starter – 12V lithium battery booster pack, portable jump box, power bank & jumper cables - for 6.0L gas and 3.0L diesel engines

noco gb40 boost in the center console just in case. I didn't bother doing an ecu flash to up the charging voltage.

 

First I've ever heard of needing a tune for an AGM battery. Never knew that was a real thing...

 

If you have either in your area, the Fleet Farm or Farm & Fleet store brand batteries are pretty decent. I’m running one in mine right now.

 

Is it cold where you live? If so look at cold crank amps. I just found a motomaster with good CCA's and it works great.

 

Yep, AGMs need an additional 0.5v charge...ton's of people just let it ride with the stock voltage and just supplement with topping off the AGM once a month or so and are just fine. Others do nothing and are still fine.
