Battery OEM Toyota or Energizer

Funny enough I also have an 18 Elantra and had my battery replaced recently from Costco. What I got was a:

- H6-AGM

- 760/120/70 cold crank amps/reserve capacity/amp hours respectively

See alot of "battery replacement cost" blah blah. 1) I have had 4 hybrid work cars (3 Camry and 1 Prius) All driven to 150k or more miles without battery issue. 2) Battery is warrantied by Toyota for 10 yrs unlimited miles 3) If you drive car alot the battery will last along time. If it sits 5 days week and you dont drive alot the battery has a small chance to be bad in 10 yrs. 10 YEARS and that like worst case if sits and not driven combined with being outside in really hot or really cold or both (Northeast). I've never seen it though in 4 cars.

Recently i was able to acquire some Japanese Energizer 2300 and 800mAh AA and AAA batteries...from my experience with the Energizers so far they are much much better then any other NiMH battery I've ever used including the Chinese Panasonic NiMH batteries.

I have the Energizer battery in mine. It's worked perfectly so far. The included posts are plug and play with the i3 terminals.

So now I will only use Energizer and Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop bateries I use these rechargable ones in more expensive devices as they do not leek but have had great success with energizer and their max alkaline bateries both stored and in devices and none have leaked.

My 2006 Prius's original battery went to 150,000 miles before needing replacement.

I have put 50k+ miles on my 09 Highlander Hybrid in the last 2 years. It charges to 76% and provides 27-30mpg depending on conditions. I love it.

My old prius was 16 years old and 370.000km battery was fine

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?)

Having been burned with low quality auto parts store batteries (specifically for the Prius) and their being unable to honor their warranties, the Toyota battery is the only way to go.
