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.

 

the TL uses battery size 24. consumer reports recommeneds the interstate megatron plus battery. they also liked the kirkland costco battery.

 

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.
