My Battery is still going in 05 120 V6 Grande. It's a Panasonic. I bought the Prado 2nd hand 3 years ago thinking it was the original battery & have been waiting for it to fail ever since but to this day no problems at all.

my OEM ran flat last night after serving its duty since 2006 with 84017km.
thinking which reliable battery to buy now.
Any suggestion?Comment

I replaced my dead OEM with GSYUASA 760CCA during the weekend.
the length of battery is longer than the original tray comes with OEM.
What do you guys usually do? where can i find a tray which can hold this new battery?

My original battery [Nov-o5 build] is still going strong in my old Peugeot 504 where it has been residing since I took it out of the V6 prado before a big outback trip in June 2010. BUT I have today just put in the 3rd battery into the Prado since then! 1st one expired 4 months after CSR trip; 2nd one a heavier duty 650 CCA has lasted 33 months and died suddenly- also has done a lot of outback work. 3rd one is a 550CCA AC Delco recommended by the auto sparky [ who also did a current leak test at the same time]. Fingers crossed for a long life for it with no trips planned. part of the problem I suspect is that the Prado often sits in the garage for most of the week and often only gets 2 20 km runs on the weekend.

Don't let Toyota fit one of their replacement batteries - they leak when used off-road. I got 11 months out of one.Dave
