At about 135,000 km (or about 85,000 mi), I find myself in need of a new battery. Old one is just starting to give me trouble. I guess the cold weather of late doesn't help much. I have a 2012 and this will be the first new battery for this truck.
Does anyone have some recommendations - good and bad - that will help me out here? I was thinking of just going OEM and then I think, maybe one of these AGM Optima ones. I don't have a large draw on power, but I must admit I use that damn seat heater daily. Even in the warmer weather. Great for a damaged back!
I only have a single battery in the truck now, but I love the idea of a second, backup battery. And if I ever go that route, I should have two batteries that are the same, right? With the much higher price of AGM batteries, I would probably not do a dual AGM battery setup. I have read before that Costco have highly rated batteries at low prices... I just don't know...
Any thoughts...?
Thanks!
Michael
