Platinum P5 Battery in Yaris.

[UberSilver]

So I went down to Sears to buy a Platinum P5 battery for my Yaris. The sales guy say's, they dont make a platinum for my car. They told me the same thing with my Land cruiser. I wonder how many sales they miss because of bad info.

I whipped out the tape measure and said to the guy, this P5 is the perfect size!

So I bought it, installed it, and I happy.

So why spend $200. on a battery, you may ask? Well, my time is worth more than sitting on the side of the road, waiting for AAA to come tow me.

I've had a half dozen+ liquid lead acid batteries die on me(been driving for over 40 years), and I've never had a AGM fail, over the last 15 years.


Also found some post where folk on the forum tried the Platinum without success. One post claimed the hood would not close. I dont get it, as the Platinum is about 1/16" (1.6 mm) taller.
