I need a new battery for my Toyota Yaris. Are the store branded car batteries in Repco, Supercheap and Autobarn the cheapest battery I can get ? Can you recommend good price/quality battery brands please. Thanks everyone.

just need to make sure you have the correct battery because the list they have is not accurate.
Ask your local wreckers, but check the date code stamped/ melted in to the plastic on top. First 2 characters of stamp reveals manufacture date.
A=Jan, B=Feb . Then a single number for the year, ie 3 = 2013 (assuming any 2003 batteries are long dead). If u can use a multimeter, even better. Check for at least 12.5v.
I bought a battery from my wrecker for $15 that was a year newer than one on sale at Repco for $200 (check date code on 'sale' batteries). If u must get new, I've found Sprint here to be the best value. Just about any battery will be fine in a Yaris. U might find a mainstream Commodore etc battery is cheaper. Just make sure it fits width & height wise, plus Make sure your negative & positive terminals are on the correct side for your car. Lastly, does it have around 500 CCA (cold cranking amps- starting power). Would be enough for a V6, so more than enough for a yaris engine.
