Truck Batteries

Did you ever pull the trigger on a new battery??

After looking at several places and either not having the right post configuration in and/or only having very expensive batteries, i ended up just going to Batteries and Bulbs . Was somewhat interested in the AGM but a little leery of what is required to change it over.

Batteries Plus X2 Power. Just replaced one in my 4Runner. IThe previous one lasted 5 years, which is a heck of a long time....that's 5 "oven" season here. We set a record this year for consecutive days of triple digits....something like 110-ish.

When I bought my X2 in 2019, they had a 5 year full replacement warranrty. Now it is 4 years. Generally Corporate America sucks, but this is a great battery.

Good luck,

Eddie

Pretty sure those were rebranded Northstars? I’ve been super happy with the Northstar AGM in my Tundra. Up here the -35C and lower cold kills batteries. This one has lasted into year 5.

What is required to change it over?? Can't you just remove the old battery and put the AGM in there?

Why not in the SxS?

haven’t needed to change it but Napa or interstate don’t have a series 26 AGM.

I have to move over to diehard, Odyssey or optimum. probably buy odyssey when it’s time.

Mule pro pretty easy on batteries since has magneto and alternator

Thats a good question. I'm hearing there can be issues if you don't have a new regulator put in. I couldn't pin down a good answer so just stuck with regular Lead Acid

Which battery did you get at batteries and bulbs, and what was the cost? I probably will get the regular lead acid too.

Makes perfect sense!
