Battery OEM Toyota or Duralast

Duralast Battery

I'm about to replace the battery on my 2013 acura tl 3.5L, looking for some advice on choosing between two batteries. The two batteries im looking at are the ACDelco Advantage 24FS or the Duralast ProPower Plus 24F-DL. They are similar in specs, same CCA though the duralast does have about 100 more cranking amps and 17 minutes more of reserve time. The acdelco comes with 18month warranty while the duralast has 2 years.

Pros: more cranking amps, longer warranty
Cons: more expensive
Vehicle: Acura TL

OEM Toyota Battery

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.

Pros: designed for stop-start, 84-month warranty
Vehicle: Toyota Highlander

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.

Pros: 0% financing, quick around town
Cons: dead battery issue
Vehicle: Toyota
Mileage: 26000 km

This is really straightforward to do. I replaced mine last September and was concerned about coding or needing to go to the dealer. My 2017 required none of that. Just take the old battery out and put a new one in. You'll have dash lights on afterwards, but all you need to do is turn the wheel all the way to one side and then the other.

Pros: straightforward to do, no coding needed
Cons: dash lights on afterwards

I replaced mine in my driveway with a same size AutoZone Duralast Gold. With a coupon, I was out the door for less than $200. The car wintered outdoors at a Vermont ski resort and always started.

Pros: always started, affordable price

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?)

Pros: car has been rock-solid
Cons: battery failed, costly replacement
Mileage: 173791 km

Duralast Battery

I had a duralast battery that I had originally bought for my beater mk2 that ended up in the Corrado, it then let go last week after only 11 months. I would go with the Bosch at all costs.

Cons: let go after 11 months
