Battery OEM Toyota or ODYSSEY
I had a 2008 Highlander hybrid that I sold to a coworker. The battery is still strong but the fan that cools the batteries gave out. He had that fixed and it is still running fine today.
My Prius is 13 years old with 187,000 miles still getting 47mpg. I think the battery paid for itself 100,000 miles ago.
Commenting here for others to find. 5TA915105B has dimensions that align with Group 48/H6 specs. I bought an Odyssey 48-720 and it was a perfect fit. Bonus tip - FCP Euro has it for $250 and it includes their lifetime warranty.
I’ve had a group 34 Odyssey in my ‘04 TJ for 4.5 years, no problems at all.
Being designed for industry they have a reputation for much longer life (up to 10 years) and better performance at cold temperatures.
Odyssey batteries have served me well. AGM. My Benz has the battery under the passenger seat so I it’s irritating to change. My last Odyssey lasted 9 years and didn’t fail: I just decided to change it as a matter of maintenance.
The price on a brand new Toyota OEM battery for the 2019 SE nightshade edition is 445$ish about 500$ after taxes. It’s designed for the stop start in the vehicle, it’s also backed by a 84 month warranty so you’ll never have to pay for a new battery for 84 months. When it comes to the battery, I would always go with OEM and have a good warranty on that battery as I do not want to deal with having to shell out another 200-300 dumpster autozone battery that has 3 year warranty or less.
Only thing I've added is a dash cam and all-weather mats. 26k miles with the fuel sender recall completed and a dead battery that is a known issue otherwise no issues.
I have a 10+ year old Prius C that had a 100k-mile warranty on the battery. It failed at 108k and cost $4k to replace. It's at 230k miles now, and I expect to have to replace it again (but who knows?)
I've had a few of the Odyssey batteries... Never lasted more than about 14-18 months before dead. Take a look at these: https://shop.antigravitybatteries.com/products/starter-batteries/automotive/ag-h6-rs/
