Battery posts are on the wrong side?

See if you can get a refund and instead get an agm at Sams club instead. They can find the right one for your vehicle just like the dealer

right ^, but to put it in the right order, duracell/deka/some others are all rebadged east penn batts

honestly return the yellow top and buy a different battery is a huge piece of advice given in this thread. truthfully, a yellowtop isn't even meant to be a starting battery...

Eh the one Toyota (******* idiots for ordering the wrong one) ordered has solid CCA and AH, should be a hell of a lot better than the unsealed lead acid battery I had. They replaced the one I had, no idea why they though a GM battery would be acceptable.

Why would you think this? On paper, the yellow top I have now is better than any of the Duracell's available, both in CCA CA and Ah

I'm pretty postive that this advice is not based on specs, so far, the o ly reasoning behind getting a different battery is that "they aren't what they once were" and "Duracell's are better." So unless anyone has a real reason, and can actually explain their reasoning, as far as I'm concerned this 'advice' is worthless.

i would not buy a new yellow top battery..i have one from when they were good.

i have been running it for 13 years..

but the new ones are not good.

its not were are hating on them, its that they are not the same quality as they once were.

How exactly are they worse? What makes you think they are not good?

if you dont believe us dont get it? we have no reason to lead you wrong there's no commission here dude

optima are made at the same cheap factory as 90% of all other batteries now, so all you pay that extra money for is the "optima" label.

lots and lots of us have good experience with the east penn AGM batteries, not gonna sit here and force feed you though. they're a good price, and a good value, what else do you need?

again, if you dont want our advice and simply consider it worthless, why the hell would you even ask to begin with? google it yourself instead of coming off as a prick to people who are attempting to help you

unless you want to spend the extra money for virgin lead batteries, get the east penn batteries.

Optima's are now made in Mexico with cheaper quality materials.

Would not buy.

Get large ring terminals and some thick wire like zero gauge. Crimp the ring terminals onto the wire and connect them with bolts.

Not that hard

I did the same thing when cramming a D5100R in place of the tiny group 121R under my hood.

my advice is based on the fact that i sell batteries and know what's good and what isn't. maybe you shouldn't be asking for advice since you're a douchenozzle.
