    Just put a charger on it for at least 8 hours, at 4 amps....

    That's they battery everyone is complaining about, at least on here.
    They're made a lot cheaper then the yused to be. And it cost more.

    Which battery is everyone complaining about?
    The link I shared with the Optiima battery or the oem truestart battery (interstate)?

    Oh, didn’t realize there were issues with the Optima battery either. Thought it would be superior compared to the oem battery. Thanks for the heads up.

    The original oem 12 volt battery that came with my car was better than the Truestart battery I have now.

    it lasted 7 years before I replaced it and never drained out on me.

    Wonder when that changed? My Truestart battery I bought about a year ago is a Yuasa one. Maybe I lucked out?

    I believe @ASRDogman was referring to the 12 Volt AGM Optima Battery.

    4th of July Special! Got new shoes for the Persona today. Michelin Defender 2!

    These tires should last longer than my Bridgestone Ecopia (only got about 36k miles)!

    I tried to order the Michelin X-Tour A/S 2 but it wasn’t available during the 4th of July Michelin one day sale. (Of course it was available the next day, after the sale was over).

    Spent a bit more on the Michelin Defender 2. Heard a lot of good things about the tires. Looking forward to putting these tires to good use!

    That’s 215/45R17? I’m getting out of touch with 17” tire options, but seem to recall defenders were not available (in that size) in past.

    Right. The Level 5 wheels and tires.
    I sold mine off and bought the standard 15" Prius wheels so get noticeably better fuel economy.
    Love the head lights!

    @Mendel Leisk , yes, the tires are 215/45/17.

    Rated at 80k miles. Hoping these lasts longer than my Bridgestones.

    Persona is regular headlights? Our Canadian Touring has the LED's, and the (useless but pretty) fogs.

    Agree about the tire size, we get slightly better mpg through winter, with 15" Michelin X-Ice, compared to the 17" Primacy MXM4 the rest of year.
