Thanks for the comments! I am thinking from what little I have read so far, that due to the venting and other accommodations for the hybrid battery interaction, that the Panasonic is a better fit for this hybrid application. I need to do more research for sure.

Thanks. I definately will use a tender in the future.

Newbie here. I could not find this topic back to 2012 but am sure it's been discussed. The 12V Panasonic battery may need replacement. (Is not staying charged when car is stored for a month). I would like to replace it with the OEM battery but not pay the dealer the $600 when I think they run around $400. However, I have not yet located a seller in the USA. I prefer to stay with the Panasonic brand battery. Thanks for any suggestions on who may carry them. Thanks, TADT
