Battery OEM Toyota or Duracell

I replaced the OEM battery in my low-mileage 2019 Alltrack S two days ago. (OEM battery was lead-acid 5K0 915 105 D, it was replaced with a Duracell Ultra Platinum SLI47AGM, 600 CCA.)

Duracell flooded lead acid would be a good choice and around $200.

I bought Duracell from Sams club. relatively easy coding with OBD11

The price on a brand new Toyota OEM battery for the 2019 SE nightshade edition is 445$ish about 500$ after taxes. It’s designed for the stop start in the vehicle, it’s also backed by a 84 month warranty so you’ll never have to pay for a new battery for 84 months. When it comes to the battery, I would always go with OEM and have a good warranty on that battery as I do not want to deal with having to shell out another 200-300 dumpster autozone battery that has 3 year warranty or less.

Only thing I've added is a dash cam and all-weather mats. 26k miles with the fuel sender recall completed and a dead battery that is a known issue otherwise no issues.

My 2015 Jeep Patriot's factory battery from Chrysler had one, until I replaced it last year with a Sam's Club Duracell special

I got a Duracell from batteries plus because it has a two year warranty. Starts strong so far, but it’s only been maybe 4 months.

I have a 10+ year old Prius C that had a 100k-mile warranty on the battery. It failed at 108k and cost $4k to replace. It's at 230k miles now, and I expect to have to replace it again (but who knows?)

We refuse to buy Duracell. They leak and are awful. Never again.

Not FUCKING BATTERIES PLUS Duracell, for not honoring my 2 year warranty for “lack of maintenance”. Because its at 0%….
