Long story short, I received this big-buck battery for free a few weeks ago. My Kirkland/Costco battery (640 CCA, 800 CA) was going on five years strong and doing fine but since I had this bad boy, I decided to swap in this larger AGM battery for further zombie apocalypse preparation.


Yes, the group/size of the battery is incorrect and is larger than the tray but I still made it work by securing the sides and top with high density foam and mdf spacers.


Also, my terminals were quite corroded and the sulfation from the battery really caked itself all over them. I ordered fresh genuine oe toyota terminals (what a feeling!) and all is well! Definitely make sure to use plenty of dielectric grease boys and girls. Seal out that moisture you feel me?!
