Battery Panasonic or OEM Honda

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.

I’d take a Honda battery over a Subaru one any day if the week.

It had a Honda battery in my Subaru for years

Honda batteries (at least the normal-sized ones, not so much the little 151R's) are honestly pretty solid.

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.

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.

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.

Some of these OEM batteries they choose to use are shit.

Honda batteries suck in general, bought a brand new one from the dealer and it was dead and wouldn't take a charge lol. I was willing to pay the extra cash for oem because I thought it would be better. Nope,
