Went outside this morning to leave and when I turned the key all I got was *click click click*. Dead battery. Haven't replaced the battery in this car, what's your favorite/recommended brand of battery? I live in Utah and it's currently about 12 degrees outside so cold starts will be happening.

Not sure if the TL uses the same battery as the RDX, which is a Type 35, but if so, then try this link:

And if the TL takes a different battery than the RDX, then be aware that Consumer Reports recommends a different brand of battery for each type/ size, based on their tests. Yes, the same brand can be rated highly for one type and rated very low for another type, i.e., size 78 vs 35.

OP, do a search. I posted a copy of CR battery recommendations..

I bought the Die Hard Gold on sale and it's been rock solid for 4 years now.

I like the Sears Platinum, $$$$$ but sealed and 4 year free replacement.

It's not needed or required but the Diehard Platinum is an amazing battery and has the best warranty I've seen. $206 roughly but it is made by Enersys (one of the largest battery manufacturers and labeled as a Platinum. This exact battery also gets one of the high end Odyssey labels. The identical battery with the Odyssey label goes for about $100 more. They're not similar, they're identical.
