I've been getting so confused on what battery size I should go with. But once I saw your face in the thumbnail I knew I could trust you. Thank you.

I'm super pissed off cause I bought a battery for 200 at auto zone and it is a bit too small for the battery hold down to clamp down on and just the other day it already came out of the battery hold down. I told my brother who works at toyota dealership to get me a battery that fits my car but he keeps telling me that it's fine and he didn't even try to look it up for me. I'm really angry because one of his co-worker said it's okay too and it's not a big deal. I don't know what type of life they want to live but I don't want a dead car in the middle of a high way or something if the battery comes loose. It fucking sucks when you have a sibling who works at your car dealership and doesn't want to help you

The CCA naturally declines over time. You are under CCA for most of the battery's life.
