Yesterday my Toyota 24F 582 CCA battery went dead on my 2012 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 2.7L MT. I jumped it and it barely rolled over but started and I let it run about 10 minutes. After 24hrs I went back out to see if vehicle would start. Nope, dead. Removed the old battery and cleaned up all the terminals and battery tray area for a new battery. I checked the date on the battery since for the life of me I don't ever remember replacing it or can find a replacement invoice (and I'm anal about vehicle records). I found a code of the front of the battery: 111024 2222Y. Could this be October 10, 2011? My vehicle data plate says manufacturing date 11/11. I purchased new from dealer November 18, 2011. And again for the life of me I don't remember ever replacing original battery even though I thought I did "possibly" in 2015/16? Go figure....
I live in Northern Ohio on Lake Erie where we experience severe winters to blazing hot summers like 2020. Now I'm debating which battery to purchase. I'm leaning towards an Interstate 24F, but if a OEM Toyota lasted this long I might as well buy another. Just thinking out loud.
