I have a 2009 Scion xD, my original Panasonic battery crapped out and I need a replacement. I took my car to Walmart to confirm it was my battery and indeed it was....the mechanic looked up the battery I need and it was the EverStart 35/5 ($99.97)....however the battery is about 2 inches taller then my original and the clamp that holds the battery in place will not clamp down and also my cables are to short to reach on top of the battery to hook ...Has anyone else experiences this problem or has gotten a replacement battery somewhere else besides the Toyota dealership? if so, please share this helpful information to me and others that may be experiencing the same...Thanks!!!

 

I'd check advance auto or auto zone

Might be a little more knowledgable than wallie world

 

you can't be more knowledgeable when the only battery you can install is what the everstart book is telling the technician. but, autozone, oreillys, napa. they all sell batteries. try there before going to the dealer. unless your dealer is having a ridiculous sale on batteries..

 

 

Oh and get this, when the guy from O'Reilly was installing my new battery, I found a spray can that the guy from Walmart left sitting next to my engine...I couldnt believe it.

 

True. Their probably just reading out of a different book possibly. Touché...

i just goto batteries plus for mine

 

I must say though that every walmart battery i've ever bought has been fantastic though. Even the ones for lawn tractors.
