    Pep Boys in Syracuse might have a Bosch brand AGM batery on sale for $152 + tax with free installation.
    I bought the same 12V battery from Pep Boys six years ago - good battery, no issues.

    A Michigan store price is shown below. Should be the same in Syracuse if you want to make the drive

    Beats Toyota's installed price by at least $150. Walmart doesn't sell the AGM battery for the Gen 2.

    welcome!
    you can buy one anywhere, but it has to be an exact fit, and accept a vent tube.
