I like the Yuasa brand. If you are getting a battery for off road use, get the gel type.

Won't matter what breed you get, quality is directly proportional to warranty time. In other words it will probably fail a very short time after the warranty has expired

Have you ever wondered why supercharge batteries are lighter than others! Less lead,smaller plates less grunt, over rated cca's. The best battery is one u need. Head to your nearest batterytown and get them to check it out before you replace it

had 2 supercharged in toyota hiace for 7 years/190 000km. Never even looked at them.
"Consumer Magazine" did a survey some years ago and the top of the list was Century. May have changed since then!

looks like its the starter after all.the brushes are shagged.
after looking on ToyoDIY it seems the brush assemblies are the same for the 2AZ and 1AZ engines and some lexus etc so ill try the dealership and see what they have.

What do you mean 'after all'! You only asked about batteries.

Does the cranking improve if you give the starter a tap.

I would beg to differ on that, if the battery is correct for the application there is nothing wrong with supercharge batteries, I'd buy one in preference to anything manufactured by Exide, they usually have a 2-3 year life at best in my experience, I'm using a S/C in a Falcon at the moment that is used/charged irregularly and is still going strong at 5 years.I sometimes think that someone on a tight budget who needed a battery would be best to go to a car wrecker and get a second hand one out of a Jap import, like a Panasonic or Varta branded one for instance, it will last longer for less money than some of the new crap that is sold in NZ.You often see imports that have been on the road here for 6+ years and still are fitted with the original batteries that they were imported with, or may have even still been the factory ones, and they did several years in Japan before they camehere.Its obvious the batteries used in JDM product are vastly superior to whats offered as replacements here.
