Buying aftermarket battery

[NEexpat]

I'm gonna make this easy for myself, and several others here,

Hey Scott, just curious, what brand batteries do you have in your YARI?

I know when the time comes and that will probably be in the next year when I replace my original battery it will probably be with a Duralast Gold, (Autozone).

In my 09 and Crashy 2 I still have the OEM battery. In Crashy I am running a Sonnenschein A212/50 50 Ah battery, which I snarfed from a field returned battery pack from a piece of equipment I used to work on. Not something available locally, but a great battery.

As mentioned above, with the dimension info and/or the look-up chart, you can walk into Walmart, Kmart, Sears, or any autoparts store and find one that will fit. I personally prefer AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries to wet cell or gel cell batteries, but they tend to be quite a bit more expensive.

I agree, your inquiry (What does Scott have in his Yari?) -- answered -- would produce what would PERFORM BY EACH INSTALLED MEASURE the best. However that MIGHT not be the same as what would be the best AND have a readily accessible guarantee (from a national chain).

I agree with DMZ. From what I read on other Yarisworld threads and on other websites re the MAXX, the Duralast Gold, and others, I'd pick the Maxx.

My OEM battery finally gave up the ghost today .... it is TOTALLY dead, it doesn't even have enough power to run the interior light in my yaris. I had to get a boost today .. and turning on my headlights the car just stalled.

Tried to get it to the dealership (after boosting it again) and it just died on me when I had to slow down in traffic. Once the car got to lower rpm's ... it just died. So finally had to hook a booster pack up to the battery as the battery was not accepting a charge by the alternator. I was told that my battery was frozen ... and I would need a new one.

So ... now time to get a new battery. My car is now sitting at the dealership awaiting a new battery tomorrow.
