I own 2 Toyotas. I have an Interstate in my Camry V6 (Supercharged) and my wife has the TOYOTA *Truestart* in her 2002 LE. The Toyota battery is EXCELLENT. I had my Interstate 84 MO battery just conk out on me after 4 yrs 3 months. Her battery lasted over 4 years and was still good when I replaced it. Thing is, the Toyota battery is designed to have a GOOD RESERVE...even though the CCA is less than my Interestate. In fact the RESERVE is 130A vs 125A for my higher CCA Interstate.

Both our cars take the 24F..that has 130A Reserve according to this chart:

INTERSTATE BATTERY
Toyota TRUESTART (not the Truestart 2) is a GREAT battery..VERY reliable. Not knocking the Interstate, but CCA isn't the ONLY criteria in selecting a battery.
