dchan865 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi folks, Its that time to consider replacing the battery(had it for over 6 years). I did some reading and realized that many have a brand preference. But I am thinking about getting one from Costo(not sure if they have 27F). Does anyone have any luck with this brand? I am considering Interstate 27f as I hear that the OEM replacement use this brand and type. Thanks for your thoughts. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mann777 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I had the OEM for 6 years, and recently replaced with Optima Red Top 35(8020-164)So far so good, Lot of good reviews on Optima, So I went in. Also nothing bad on the Toyota OEM ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also nothing bad on the Toyota OEM ones. Now speaking of the ones(group 27F) directly from a Toyota dealer, which I am considering now because of the price(around $90-$100, and Lexus sells for $120). Do you know if the physical specs/dimension is the same as the original one? From an electical perspective, it'll do the job. I am just concern that the size is either too big or small that may cause install issues(its just my luck when it comes to this sort of thing). I guess I am just looking for a nice fit without any hassle. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also nothing bad on the Toyota OEM ones. I got the Toyota TrueStart brand(identical to the Group 27F from Interstate and its about $30 less than Lexus dealer) and installed it. Its working just fine. The new battery was a bit taller so I had to adjust the "bar" that goes on top of the battery to keep it secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
