Default Replacement battery for '08 ?

Anybody had to replace their battery yet? What did you get?
Hubby just bought the Duralast (AutoZone $109) and it's too tall.
Anyone know of another option, besides Toyota???

Thanks!

Get the group number of the battery.. Then you can get a replacement that fits. Costco has descent batteries for a reasonable price.
Interstate batteries, Sears.. etc..

costco has excellent Kirkland batteries, I've been using them in all of my cars without issue.

Wound up getting the Toyota battery and hubby had to bend the top bracket piece a bit to get it to fit.
Old battery was 7 and 3/4 in. tall, new battery 8 in. tall.
The Optima would have worked but costs $209. Toyo was $82.

Panasonic makes some of the best auto batteries for the money and I recommend them.
