my 12v aux battery died as i accidentally left one cabin light one overnight, and i'm looking to replace it. however, i can only find one on amazon.com : http://amzn.to/2tFRxJa There is no size info on this, is there no other brands i can try to get for lower cost? I checked walmart and weirdly their battery checker does not list prius . i checked costco and they don't know... what is the size i should look for?
I'm not sure if it's the same battery as regular 3rd gen Prius, might well be. There's several options: The stock battery is a Yuasa, believe the dealerships should carry that, though it's getting overly expensive, over $270 a couple of years back when I was looking. Canadian Tire carries a rebadged Exide, at least for ours, under the name "Motomaster Eliminator Ultra AGM" I went with the Optima Yellow Top, coming up on 2 years back. Amazon has it, but AFAIK know they're actually coming from SaskBattery. That's the route I went, it was maybe $10 cheaper, it was shipped for free (no small task), well packed, and they only charged GST. I hooked it up to a smart charger before install. Next time around, I believe I'll go the Canadian Tire route. I had a recent experience there buying a battery for another family member's Honda Civic, and the Can Tire battery was physically identical, just rebadged to Motomaster, their house brand. They had a pro quality electronic load tester on hand, and were quite willing to check it status before selling to me (it was fine). There's a $20 core charge, refunded when you bring back the old battery. My notes, and again, this is for a regular 3rd gen Prius, might be the same: ---- 12 volt battery: Toyota Part No: 28800-21171 Battery info: GS Nippon Denchi YUASA S46B24R-GS Cold Cranking Amps: 310? ----------------------- Cold Cranking Performance (Amps) SAE/EN1: 310A ----------------------- Info from: http://priuschat.com/threads/new-12v-battery-part-28800-21171.92860/ From Britprius, part no: JIS46B24R length: 238 mm (9.370") width: 129 mm (5.079") height: 227 mm (8.937") ---- OEM battery info (measurements taken directly): Battery id: S46B24R GS YUASA length: 9 3/8" (238 mm) width: 4 7/8" (124 mm) height: 8" (203 mm) (plus posts) post dia's: Pos: 13 mm (approx) Neg: 10 mm (approx Weight: 310 ---- Optima Yellow Top: Group Size: GR#51JIS: 46B24R CCA: 450 CA: 575 Length: 9.272 in Width: 5.024 in Height: 8.885 in web page: ---- Canada Tire battery: MotoMaster Eliminator Ultra AGM Product Number: #010-5122-6 Manufacturer's Product Number: ELU-S46B24R (rebadged Exide battery) ---- Above Canadian Tire battery is rebadged: Exide FP-AGM51JIS ---- Bosch Premium Performance Battery Group Size 51 Part # 51-440BAGM ---- ACDelco ACDB24R Advantage AGM Automotive BCI Group 51 Battery
Any S24B24R group/capacity/size/format battery will work. Some prefer to stay with AGM. They come in sealed and vented designs. Be sure to hook up the vent tube on a vented battery.
I buy a Yuasa YBX3053 lead acid3 months ago and works fine. Have the same size, the same specs and is more cheap (75euros). Why buy Agm? 3 or 4 times more expensive and life time isnt so different. ( lead acid 4-6 years vs agm 5-7 years) Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
I've been using this for 3 yrs. in October. Didn't have to modify the cable ends, just removed the bolt and inserted the battery post and replaced the bolt. I used a one and one half inch piece of wood under the hold down. The battery is sealed, no vent and no spill in any position. Casil CA12350 12v 35ah for Sealed AGM Golf Cart Battery | eBay
