AGM Battery replacement?

[Clovisb31]

Let me look up the group size for the taco then I will reply with the CCA for each option. I work tomorrow on Sunday. So I will reply if each AGM battery option that I sell

I'll save you the trouble....
The Tacoma uses a group size H7 or 94R. It's NOT a group 24, like the dealer (here) says and sells.
The existing OE battery is labeled an LN4 which I think is a "Urine-peean" size designation. But the physical dimension is that of a 94R.

Dealers are trying to pawn off Group 24's as replacement size, and those have lower CCA's than a 94R.

I own two napa stores, I jumped on the napa onlie
Deka is 800cca 52 pounds
Odyssey is 850cca 54.8 pounds
Optima is 880cca 60.5 pounds

Deka will be the most cost effective option.. thr other two brand cost significantly more but in my opinion, they are superior in every way.

like you, I also live in Kalifornia.. you have an awesome sheriff down there that promotes CCWs.

A note on that "super capacitor" someone mentioned, that things probably a paper weight. Looking at it on Ancels website it shows zero actual specifications at all. No rating on the capacitors, not even an estimation of output amperage. Even the little graphs they show have zero actual measurement of output and rather just shows "starter ampeage" disappear.

Capacitor use in automotive is nothing new, nor is the use of capacitors in emergency jump starters. Even large capacitors have been common in the car audio scene for years. There are, especially in car audio a ton of fake or misrepresented capacitors on the market. Even the fakes state some sort of rating.

I own one, it works great, is absolutely not a paper weight. Real question is why is this “new” and the only one like it that’s available?

I've seen a couple of "U-boob" videos reviewing the "Super capacitor" battery add-on devices. They
all, of course, claim they work. But no mention of a valid measuring/testing routine.
Personally, knowing what I do about electronics, I don't see how you can fit a capacitor with enough
storage capacity into such a small enclosure these devices show.
But I could could be wrong. In fact, according to my Wife, I'm wrong quite often. (According to her)
