Owner reviews for battery

Probably the easiest car to swap a battery on imo. Just remove and replace, negative off first. Bosch is good quality, but not required...Use 80Ah 12V.

I put that same Optima in 6 years ago (to the month!). Mines still fine knock on wood

I was told to replace the small battery in the back with an OEM battery from Toyota (oddly much cheaper). Problem solved. So far. :)

I just purchased an Exide battery at Home Depot yesterday for my 2002 Jetta Wagon. It was only $109.99.....about $50 less expensive than anything comparable in any of the big 4 parts stores, locally. It also has the best warranty of all of them (3 year replacement).

Red optima battery on my 93 integra 10 yrs old still starts.

FWIW, my post is the top one, I did not go with an OEM battery after reading through other threads where users had issues finding one in stock and instead went with the Optima YellowTop that was recommended on their site. I have had zero issues.

I just replaced my OEM H5/LN2 group 47-sized battery with a Duralast Platinum H5-AGM Group Size H5/LN2 680CCA battery. After having my mechanic change the settings in the ECU from EFB to Fleece for battery technology, 60Ah for rated capacity and set the date of install for the last 8 digits of the serial number, all seems to be fine. It fits the OEM position and cover perfectly.

After only 17500 miles, my '18 Tig's battery decided that it's not going to hold a charge very well anymore. The original battery was an EFB from Banner. The current batteries available are Varta/Johnson Controls (vendor: JCB) made in Germany P/N: 000.915.105.CC. Hopefully the AGM will perform better.

my 2009 had an optima and it only lasted 2 years

I have only had poor luck with optimas
