My 2004 Toyota Tacoma has the original battery but it forms a lot of rubbish around the terminals every months. currently at 150k miles

My 2014 Yaris had 20k miles on it and the battery died because Toyota sold it to me with a loose belt, so it wasn't charging on cold starts.

Try coating the terminals with wheel bearing grease.

7+ years and 43,000 miles out of my OEM FB battery. The battery wasn't dead when I replaced it today, but close to it... My headlights would dim when I hit the brakes...

Installed a Super Start Premium 35.
