Battery OEM Toyota or Panasonic

I’m on my 3rd 4Runner, they all came factory with the Panasonic battery. That damn thing wouldn’t quit till at least year 8.

Panasonic Eneloops for me all the way. Bit of an initial investment, but they work so well they're all I buy now for anything that needs batteries. They even kept my Pix running for almost 10 days!

We had a 2016 lexus with original Panasonic battery. in 2022 had to be replaced, thats 6years. In Arizona batteries last about 2 years. so that was nice.

My battery in my Toyota echo is from Toyota and it’s like 12 years old and still starting at -35C so I’d say go with Toyota genuine

I was told to replace the small battery in the back with an OEM battery from Toyota (oddly much cheaper). Problem solved. So far. :)

The OE Panasonic battery in my WRX died roughly 12 minutes after I bought the car. It was the original, so it was 9ish years old. Impressive.

My MY2007 S2000 also came with Panasonic battery. I replaced it with Walmart battery in last summer (2015), So it ran for 8 years.

Original factory Panasonic battery in my RX-8 lasted 7 years. The 'premium' Exide I replaced it with is on it's way out now after only 4 years.

I tried my spare key, and the first time I used it, I got a weak battery warning. I never had that warning on the key I regularly use. I replaced both batteries, and still had the problem.

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.
