Which brand would you guys recommend? I have heard great things about interstate batteries. I have to deal with winter and I have a subwoofer connected so I will need a strong one. I still have the original Panasonic toyota battery.

I bought my car with a weak Interstate battery, it seems like most ES's have them. I wanted a clean look under the hood, so I went to the dealer and picked up a Lexus battery - still running strong.

Do you know how they are at the dealer ?

You mean how much? I paid around $150 with tax, and I had to give them my old battery (which I had no use for anyway). My local mechanic offered me a new Interstate battery for $110, but like I said, I didn't want a bright green box in my car.

Autozone Gel Batteries are pretty awesome. 5 year warrenty and sealed from the elements. I love mine, about 170 OTD.

That's where I got mine. Excellent battery, excellent price, excellent warranty, highly rated by Consumer Reports. Can't beat that.

I have a 2002 ES 300 as well. I have a Duralast and it's been running great.

The Lexus factory batteries are overpriced junk in my opinion.

Consumer Reports did a test and rated Costco's Kirkland brand and Walmart's EverStart Maxx right around the top. Those two are where I now go for all my car batteries, and they're usually also the cheapest. I've done really well with them, and they have a great warranty.

Most all car batteries now come from just 2-3 manufacturers, they just have different labels and warranties on them.

Ended up getting the gold series by dura last for now from autozone. Looks and works good so far.

lexus batteries comes with 7yr warranty. they do offer parts special coupon combined with their complimentary car wash is worth considering.

I am currently running an Interstate battery in both my cars.

And even though I shouldn't say this, Toyota/Lexus batteries are made by interstate. Which is why I often tell peopel that the OEM batteries are pretty good, because they are.

Interstate batteries are legit. Lexus brand uses Interstate batteries anyways.

I see you got a kicker. do yourself a favor and do not get any battery that is not AGM. a GREAT choice would be XS Power all the way, but on a budget, a Deka 9a34 is a economic choice (what i have, and yes, the battery holder will need to be slightly modded. with ease) do not pick a sams club, auto zone, or wal mart battery at all. and Optima Yellowtop? pshh.....trust me, i did alot of research. no offense to the others above me, but they dont know nothing about car audio, power integration.
