Default OEM Battery- Almost 10 years old..

My OEM battery seems like it's on its last legs. I only have 61k on my 2011 xB, but the OEM battery has been great. I have a battery reconditioner, but I don't think even that is going to help it through this winter. I suppose if I check my build date,
I may be closer to 10 years than I think. So what's a good battery to put in this? Can't remember the last time I needed a battery.. wait. .. yes I could. I was going up north to trade my 17 yo Camry on a Lexus & the darn thing couldn't make it one more day. 🤔🙄

Walmart's top shelf battery for your car costs ~$100.00. Parts places such as NAPA and Auto Zone may charge $150 to $250, depending where you live.

61k, eh? That's almost broken in.

Thank you. Yeah, I found one. I'm sure I'll have to be buying one soon. I'll just get the 50 dollar battery or less..

Well, I got 10 years out of this puppy. Sad to see it go. The reconditioner I bought off of Amazon has served me well. My 2013 Lexus is still on the original battery.
