I've never had any reason to regret my decision in the past 15 months of ownership, and I absolutely love driving it.
Owner reviews for battery
I usually get a Duralast Gold from pepboys. Not the cheapest model, but not the super premium one either. Most CCA.
See alot of "battery replacement cost" blah blah. 1) I have had 4 hybrid work cars (3 Camry and 1 Prius) All driven to 150k or more miles without battery issue. 2) Battery is warrantied by Toyota for 10 yrs unlimited miles 3) If you drive car alot the battery will last along time. If it sits 5 days week and you dont drive alot the battery has a small chance to be bad in 10 yrs. 10 YEARS and that like worst case if sits and not driven combined with being outside in really hot or really cold or both (Northeast). I've never seen it though in 4 cars.
I had a Yellow top optima installed for my subaru around 2015, it lasted until just today - held out well
The battery that lasted me the longest was Solite almost 3 years!
Then purchased Hitachi which lasted like 2 years....
Bosch batteries in my older bmw lasted around 5 years but I was told it’s recommended to change every 2 years.
Same with my 2008 BMW 535d. 900ah and still going strong
I’m just pulling out a 4+ year old Yuasa that only started giving me problems about 2 months ago. Gonna try the $30 Mighty Max special this time since it seems to have some favorable reviews and we’ll see what happens. ????
I bought a ryobi 18v. Hate it. Only have a 5 and a 2mah battery. It's never enough. The price of another 5mah Battery would buy you petrol for years for a mower. Always runs out of charge or overheats when mowing in the heat. Then you're waiting 5 hours to finish your mow
Optimas are not the brand they once were, I would never put one in my vette after the brand new $300 red top I put in my Durango basically exploded a week after I put it in.
