Battery in my 2015 Sienna just died one morning few months ago without any warning, and temperatures were not dropping below freezing yet, plus vehicle is garaged. When I took out battery, which was OE, it was made by Johnson. Got Interstate which I think it is also Johnson.

All of the Toyota/Lexus vehicles that I've owned had Panasonic batteries as did my Japanese made Honda's & Mazda's. My US made Honda's had Delco and I can't remember what my Nissan's had.
Toyota batteries are junk these days. My '16 Tundra battery lasted only 2 years!
Whoever makes them now they are junk.
My old Tacoma battery lasted 9-10 years!
I bought Sears Diehard and that Also lasted 9-10 years

I had a Volvo battery last 10 yrs, my motorcraft batteries in my powerstroke were still good when I replaced them at 8 yrs. since then every battery I've had die gave no warning at all. Now I replace batteries at the 3 yr Mark with Costco interstates. For under $100 it's good piece of mind because they never go out in the driveway. They'll crap out in the grocery store parking lot 200 mile from home @10pm.

I think he's playing Mr Murphy here--odds are, it'll go at the worst time.
But I agree with him, I've started buying Walmart batteries. If I ever have a problem, Walmart is never far away. Might not be the cheapest option but I doubt that it's the most expensive one either, and convenience has its cost.

Battery in my VW Tiguan is still original, and that little thing runs hot like [censored]. I am not sure who makes batteries for them though.

Are you sure it is battery and not Walmart?
