Original battery is failing after 4 years and 95k miles. It is a Panasonic Group 24, AGM, 450 CCA.
An OEM replacement is available only from dealer, $316 with one-year warrantee. I looked further.
Traditionally, I have bit the bullet on weight and replaced my batteries with much higher capacity batteries. I found that the heavier batteries last much longer. Plus, starters draw more current the older they get. The Camry does not seem to have one of those exotic computer-controlled charging systems, so I am pretty sure that I can put virtually any battery in there that fits the box.
Considering an X2Power battery. Reviews look good, made in USA. 840 CCA, 60 month. Costs about $260. Weighs 58 lb, compared to 37 lb for the OEM Panasonic battery. That is a lot of lead to lug around.
Anyone here have experience with X2Power batteries, or high recommendations for something else?
Thanks
