battery

It is always cool to see how long some OEM batteries last. I know that for Toyota, a lot of theirs were made by Panasonic. The OEM in one of my Toyota products lasted 10 years of daily driving and MN winters before it started struggling.
I had read somewhere that Japanese manufactured Hondas also used Panasonic batteries ,but US built cars used Delphi batteries (which are pretty much junk in comparison).

Honda's warranty on their batteries rivals Costco's as well. Made the decision easy for me.

I thought about that and investigated how well that would work a few years ago. Perhaps it was how they made the 2009s but the cable reach for that idea was extremely tight. When the Honda dealer matched Costco's price and added installation, I went for the OEM.

I too installed a Honda-branded battery back in 2017 and never looked back. If I recall correctly, it was around $110 before core charge.
This still holds true today. My 2019 4Runner (built in Japan) runs a Panasonic battery. Curious if the US-built Toyotas also run Panasonics...
