    So my Diehard battery has been giving me fits the past few days. Some mornings it will turn the starter, others it just clicks and I have to hook the charger up to it.

    What size of battery do you recommend?
    What brand?
    Cold Cranking Amps?

    It is 2 degrees where i live currently and that is not the normal here, usually around 37 degrees.

    Tetrus, as Ron said above, there is plenty of info on what batteries , what's the best, etc.
    I have the Duralast Gold @ 750 cranking amps. No complaints so far. Ran me around $150.

    Group 27. I have the Toyota True Start in mine. Haven't had any problems. I do want to upgrade to an Optima though. I have one in my Xterra that will not die!!!!

    Keep in mind that there are two versions of group 27. I think 27F has the posts at the front not at the rear of the battery. Battery cables won't reach.

    Well thanks for the suggestion the battery that was currently in it was in fact defective (group 35 Diehard Gold Battery, 3 years old). I ended up cheaping out and buying an Everlast MAXX group 35 (640 cca). Upon review, I wish I would have got the group24f as it has 740 cca, thought that could have cause issues dureing the 100+ degree summers here.

    My original Toyota battery lasted 9 years and I replaced it with another Toyota battery. I tried an Evermax first but the +/- terminals weren’t in the correct position for the cables. I think it ended up being cheaper too.
