    Exide AGM Car Battery (Group S46B24R)


    [ Since this is really a question that's pertinent to all Prii generations, is there a more appropriate forum I should have posted it in? ]

    Since this is a very new product (Feb 2013) I doubt there will be many replies "watch for the avalaunch", but Exide make very good products and give a four year full replacement guarantee.

    Be aware that along with the Optima if your car does not have SKS entry system "on gen2 Prius" you will need to buy from Toyota the alternative battery tray for the larger battery.
    This battery has a higher capacity than both the OEM battery and the Optima, at a competitive price.
