My dual 35-1400 Odyssey batteries in my Tacoma are 5 years old and need to be replaced.
Walmart AGM 4-year warranty batteries are ~$400 and are easily warranted nationwide. Intertate, Odyssey, and Optima batteries will run me ~$700. Lithium options seem to be available for ~$800, but I wonder about compatibility with my 12,000lb Warn winch loads in addition to basic charging, cold weather starts, and use with a 12Vdc vehicle fridge/chest plus lights and air compressor.
One random thought I had was to get Marine AGM batteries to handle low-voltage battery cycles better due to the accessories on my Tacoma, like the lights and fridge unit.
What are the recommendations from people who travel to really remote areas and travel internationally, where a Walmart warranty may not be possible, or a replacement LiFePo isn't an option either? Should I just opt for Walmart AGM batteries that can be matched easily with a dissimilar battery at some remote location?
TIA,
Sid
