    Try elsewhere than dealership; here's what I see with the go-to up here, Canadian Tire. Price in Canadian Dollars (converts to roughly $145 USD. Out of stock at our nearest store, but plenty at other Greater Vancouver outlets.

    Well we've had good luck with the OEM batteries in the first two cars we got new....the battery in the 2008 Corolla lasted almost 7 years and in the 2014 Tundra, it lasted just over 5 and that's about 2-years longer than the ones I've gotten from O'Reilly Car Parts. (Tundra is too big or the garage so gets the temps of -20 to 99 or -29 to 37 for you Celsius folks! :)
    Looking on my dealer website, I'm hoping mine is the one listed which is $201 and I can ask to use my military discount...should knock it down to $181....I'll know Thursday when I can stop in.

    Very unlikely they changed the design 3 times- but quite likely that they had more than one supplier, and needed to differentiate the stock with different part numbers. They may not all have been available at the same times or in the same regions.

    Something like this happened with the 12v battery for our car, which is the only way I learned about it.

    Canadian Tire often has good/better/best options. That was the case when I was getting a battery for someone's Corolla, with a lead-acid under-the-hood battery. The 3 of them were something like $125, $145 and $165 (CDN).
