Make sure you have the big 3 done too.

Battery brands dont have to match.

Pc2150 for $90 plus the ride if you're interested.

Can have it load tested for you. It's my current starting and not very old at all.

2-3years can drain the capacity of the battery.

I'd have it load tested.

It will have increased resistance inside if the capacity has decreased. If you add another battery to the system while using that battery, it could rob power from the other battery constantly which will decrease the lifespan of the batteries and put more stress on the alternator.

I will definitely get it tested before adding my new battery. Thanks for the info bro, trying to find a used ish one to save a bit , if not I'll be buying brand new prob

Velcro behind the passenger seat (Its a single cab). You can also get a metal sleeve for the battery that you can bolt down wherever youd like
