Battery OEM Toyota or Energizer

I have a ‘24 RAV4 Prime and a ‘13 Prius V. I can say that my battery and fuel efficiency on both vehicles drops between 30 and 40% as soon as the cold weather hits. Range on the RAV4 Prime goes from 80km/charge to about 55-60km in cold weather, plus the gas runs more often so I don’t go as far on a tank (~1300km winter vs our record 2100km spring/summer).

I did this accidentally and my car never stops at traffic. After 3 years the original battery died and I had to replace. I replaced with an after market battery that matches the ratings but not from Toyota dealer. Ooops all works fine except the auto start stop. it says \"incompatible battery\" but never shuts off at traffic signals.

Paid $350 US recently for a 12 volt for a 2018. Yep, I know that's a lot, but I was at the dealership getting routine maintenance done and it tested borderline. Knew this to be true and was carrying a jumppack. However, it's with a lifetime warranty. That sold me.

I bought a Toyota Truestart for $224 USD with taxes. Swapped it in the dealer parking lot in about 5 minutes, took the old one back in for the core charge.

My toyota battery from 2013 lasted 12 years. I hope my 2025 Hyundai battery can come close.

I put a Japan made energizer 2300mh storage at least for 8 monts, charged before storage and surprise, they make my flash work very quick even at maximum power, recycling flash time is even better than manufacturer specs.

Batteria cambiata nel 2024 avevo ancora l'originale Toyota che m'è durata 15anni.

Assuming that it's a hybrid and not a PHEV it should run you about $2,500 to have it done professionally, or less than $1000 to do it yourself. At least that was my experience with my Prius.

This is the worst battery i tried, Enegizer lasted less than a year, maybe around 6 months only and it started dying.

It's not only Energizer, its also whatever cheap brand I have. Might be a law, I think.

I do hate them, either cutting your fingers or have the cell fly out like a chemical saucer.
