Need something with side posts. This one has a lot of wires going into those.

Interstate makes a battery with both top and side posts. Jonathan Ward uses those for his Icon builds

Is green preferable to Red?

I thought we were trying to make the engine bay look more Toyota ish.

I usually buy Duralast Gold batteries personally. They are black and rectangular and easy to replace.

Somebody else may make a 78DT that's black.

The carry handles can be removed if you don't like the look.

The handle always gets tossed

Toyota replacement batteries are privately-labeled Interstate batteries. I personally like the plain black case they use. The labels come off if the graphics bother you. Most of Interstate's regular batteries are white/green cases that scream "aftermarket". Interstate is the vendor for more than one carmaker's batteries. They use the black cases and simply apply different labels.

There are only a couple battery manufacturers in North America making batteries for just about everybody.

I prefer the Japanese Panasonic batteries but those are not imported as replacement parts. If they were, the cost would be brutal, to say the least.

Now Brendan, let's not insult Dan and I.... He's strictly a WalMart oil proponent. I, on the otherhand, go for Dollar General Synthetic.
