Why I purchased my 12 volt from Batteries Prius

congrats! i considered the duracell, but no dealers close by.
4 year warranty is good. tru start has 2 years, then pro rated for 5 more years. it partly depends on your climate, but unless the battery is defective, most of these warranties won't matter. if someone had a ten year full replacement warranty... ...they'd probably go out of business

 

Many (most?) of the lead-acid batteries, no matter what name they have on them, are made by Johnson Controls.

We have a Batteries Plus in our area, but I don't think I've ever bought anything there, because of the outrageous prices.

 

That’s a good find/price, for a good warranty. Thanks for sharing.

I’ll have to wait and see if my LiFePO4 bet pays off....

 

Likewise, my $65 vented AGM U1. It has been only 53 months so far.

 

That's a great price for proven AGM technology. I tried to look up how you dealt with the terminal posts being different but I'm afraid I couldn't find it...

moto g(7) power ?

 

It says it's SAE-JIS. Perhaps it is JIS with shims to connect to SAE or something.

I got the 35AH duracell ultra with the (wrong) J posts and 1-year warranty at batteries plus for less than half this price. I'm still figuring out a nice connection adapter; meanwhile it powers the car just fine. So there is that barebones option if you like this vendor.

 

LOL I looked because of the typo in the title.
Batteries Prius??

 

No adapters needed. The Prius clamps will clamp securely on those rectangular terminals, although it may look awkward.
To hold the U1 in place, I used spacers at the rear and on top. Venting modified to direct any gases through the stock vent hose.

 

The U1 I saw has square lug holes (I looked up your mentioned J post and that's what it has). I guess cr94 was able to just fit the connectors around them.

Which model did you get specifically please? Might be a nice option for someone...

moto g(7) power ?

 

That's how mine is--clamps bent slightly larger to accommodate the width of the rectangle. It seems pretty secure, though not much contact area, if it matters, and a pain to disconnect.

Item number SLADC12-35J, I think. Not vented.

 

? My original cable clamps are squeezed slightly smaller to fit the rectangular terminals. Retightened it a couple of times to make sure it is secure. U1 battery was not designed to connect to the vent tube but was easy to modify so that it does.

 

Does this Duracell battery have a vent for fumes?

 

the eighth comment down in the link says yes

 

I searched there for our 2017 Prius 2 and it's saying "No Results" ...bummer!

 

My only issue with Batteries Plus is that they will only put your battery on their charger for free if it needs a charge before testing if you bought it there, otherwise they charge you. Most auto parts stores don't care where you bought it because they know if it is bad they are going to sell you one.

 

I've only used Battery Plus once, since they aren't located nearby. I got them to program a new key Fob for my daughters 2016 Mazda CX-5 she bought used and only came with one. Poor kid at B+ spent over 4 hours using various machines to get it done and it does work pretty well...after a few electronic gremlins. They only charged me something like $70.....Mazda dealer was asking for an insane amount, I think it was $300.....I've found Mazda prices for just about everything is far above Toyota...they want $30 for an oil filter! WHAT???

 

Yuasa HJ-S46B24R still the best and cost qbout $200 too. It is still the best and last typically 7 years or more under normal regular usages
