    that looks aftermarket, are you the original owner?

    you need a battery that fits properly, has the correct post size and orientation, and a vent tube connection.

    toyota oem $200. or pep boys currently $150. and better if you can find one. and there are others.

    Pop the yellow cap off. Wonder if it's a manual or remote control disconnect?
