Battery OEM Toyota or ODYSSEY

In 4 years I put 3 batteries in my wife’s 2013 Infiniti, 3rd battery I went with an Odyssey and it’s been going strong for 3 years now.

Pruis 12v battery last a long time. I just replaced my 11 year old battery. It was still working I just decided to do it as maintenance.

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 have a 10 year old odyssey battery that's still going strong. Not cheap but worth it.

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 just replaced my OEM Subaru battery on my '22 with an Odyssey AGM 35 for about $370.00. The original OEM battery lasted about 3 1/2 years, let\u2019s see how long this one will last.

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.
