I went to the new Costco in Lakewood CA today, a very nice store.
I wandered into the tire shop to look at the batteries. My rig has some tiny Energizer battery from the previous owner.
I first just looked in the Toyota section of the battery catalog and found the correct part number for a battery, fj80.
For crap and giggles I looked up the Lexus section, correct battery for the LX450.
To my surprise they were 2 different batteries!
The Toyota listed 450 cold crank amps where the LX450 listed a different sized battery at 650!
I wasn't able to compare the size difference because Costco dosen't carry the battery for the LX450.
WHY?
Here is my dilemma.....
I have no battery hold-down bracket right now, with the exception of a few bungee cords. rigged as all hell. Should I find the biggest, baddest, cold cranking amp battery that will fit in my rig and weld me a bracket to secure it in place?
Is there too-big-a-battery problems possible? I can't imagine there is?
Lemme know! Thanks fellas!
