Anyone with the new 45AH Yuasa battery care to deep cycle?

    About 4 or 5 times to see if it's still the old crap with higher AH or if the battery is now deep-cyclable like the Optima?

    In the worst case, if you find it's done in 4 or 5 cycles, you can get a free replacement from Toyota assuming yours is still under the 2-year free replacement warranty PLUS you will know to continue to be careful with not leaving the dome lights on and such.

    I would recommend the same test with the Exide Edge and the O'Reilly SuperStart to see if they are really deep-cyclable.

    Thanks.
