alrite so my car battery just died last night so im gonna go buy one today, which one do you guys think is a reliable and affordable one, i do have a bunch of electronics connected like subs, amp, dvd in dash, gauges, leds everywhere, underbody, and stuff like that

 

I hear the Diehard Platinum batteries at Sears are an Odessey marine battery at about $100 less the price. I've been thinking about this a lot recently b/c of longer cranking time the car has been needing with this cold snap we are in. Lets see what others have to say.

 

I like those small batterys not sure what they're called but I know I'll eventually get one to clean up my engine bay some.

 

You can buy them off the NST website.

 

optima batteries?

 

Thanks buddy.

 

http://braillebattery.com/ are the small lighter batteries mentioned above.

I'm most likely going to buy a Optima Yellowtop.

 

^They're the one's I'm talking about. I like to know how they hold up? I have a small system (thinking bout taking it out) and I don't drive it all the time maybe once a week in the spring/summer.

 

Save some money and go with the Deka if you like the Braille. Same battery 1/3 the price.

 

braille ftw, that will be my next battery once i am out of warranty.

 

Johnson Controls makes a lot of batteries under different brands like Toyota TrueStart, Honda, Motorcraft (ford), mazda, duralast (autozone), and some diehard batteries, as well as the Optima batteries.

I'd consider something from them, their reviews on Consumer Reports (for what it's worth) came away with the Autozone Duralast battery being excellent to very good. Johnson Controls has been having a very good record of excellent batteries.

what does the battery have to do with the warrenty

 

^ Was thinking the same thing.

 

I'm on my fourth battery from Toyota. Thought something was up with the car draining the battery, but the battery i'm on now is doing well.

Toyota replaces the battery for free if you are under the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. so i'm just waiting. Why buy a new battery when Toyota will give you one?

 

That's awesome. I had no idea the battery can be replaced. Learn something new everday.

 

^ that is awesome but I hate the big bulky battery so I want one those small ones.

 

Put a pic of your battery up buddy.

 

anyone see my comment up there??

 

I hear you, but IMO it is pointless spending some bank on a decent battery like the Braille when Toyota will give you one for free. They way I see it is that I'm going to keep my car way past the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty for sure, so I might as well wait for the battery to crap out on me when I'm out of warranty. I'll get one eventually. That's they way I see it.

 

You can see it in my pics in my thread it's nasty lol.
