2003 Sequoia needs a new battery, picking it up tomorrow morning. Currently in the truck is a 9.5 year old Optima D31A but failed to start the other day (kids listening to music). I recharged with a CTEK charger made for AGM's. It's working but cranking slow so it's time.
Correct size for truck is a 27F which no local places by me have in stock. AZ, AAP, WM, Sears, Pepboys. I want to stick with the AGM as my factory wet cell just sulfated and corroded like crazy.
Sams has the Duracell AGM (East Penn Deka) in a 31 that will fit no issue for $175. PepBoys by my job has Optima 27F (correct for truck) and the D31 (not sure if D31A without studs). Pepboys has 30% off which puts the Optima at $187 which is cheaper than Amazon.
I tried local Interstate distributor and 9+ shops and no one had the 27F's available nevermind in AGM. Distributor said 2 weeks to order it and $270.
What says the BITOG crowd?
