Sams Club has been the best battery, warranty and lowest price for a few years now in my area.

[@oldtimer6528]

I do my best not to step foot in a dealership for anything.

[@onenikkione]

I've been buying everstart and just replacing them every four years as part of maintenance. I never thought to check with local Toyota dealer. Sounds like a better built battery.

[@tbskirk]

Some of these dealer websites might surprise you and i'm slowly getting into the habit of checking them more often.

Walmart ever start value battery 24F 60$ had two years still going strong most name brand battery’s are made by same manufacture Johnson Controls just different labels

Rural King has the cheapest prices on batteries. If u have any issue with a battery u can always take it back to the store and they will replace it, Walmart, AutoZone, etc in and out.

[@jbuchana]

Came here to say this. I payed about $60 for a Rural King battery for my '04 GMC in September. The car parts stores wanted a bit over $200. It started great a couple weeks ago when the temperature was -8 F. I was very pleased.

[@CarsNToys]

Thank you. I'm afraid Rural King is nowhere in the vicinity.

[@jbuchana]

@@CarsNToys I don't kow where you live, but Big R and Tractor Suply Compnay often have prices similar to Rural King. I'm sure there are other "Farm, Fleet, and Home" style stores around but those are the only ones I'm familiar with.

Great video

[@ddyeo503]

Some places the batteries sit months and months on a shelf too. So check the date. Some places that don't sell many batteries, they can be sitting on shelves for 6 months and that's not good either,,,,,,,,,,,

[@uwusmolbean]

Bigger capacity will last longer. the cheapest ones tend to leak out some electrolyte ❤❤❤

[@uwusmolbean]

*service life I hav a bad habit of leaving lights on 😔

[@beeline2]

Toyota battery warranties are no good unless your car is serviced in a bay and they check the battery; you just cant bring in a failed battery. ..They make it a hassle.

[@CarsNToys]

Thanks for the heads up.

[@PeterHernandez-lg2eh]

Good to know. I get my batteries from Costco.

[@joesmith6524]

i have always used everlast get 7/8 years out of them!!

[@CarsNToys]

Thank you. Certainly good to know.

I hope you realize that toyota does not make batteries.

[@CarsNToys]

If memory serves, Johnson Controls is the manufacturer.
