Re: Why are Toyota Batteries so Bad
My factory TrueStart battery went dead after 2 years, but was replaced under warranty. Replaced with another TrueStart, which is also under a manufacturer warranty for 7 years. I don't plan on replacing it myself until it goes bad after the warranty period is out.
The fact about factory batteries is that they are kept in unoccupied vehicles and not used every day as they should be used. When they sit on the lot and just get started for a 5 minute test drive, the battery doesn't get recharged as it should. Case in point, they had to jump start the Tundra I test drove prior to me buying mine.
