Looking for car battery for Corolla LE 2020 in amazon

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a new battery for my corolla LE 2020. According to my research, the battery spec for corolla LE 2020 is size group 35 / 140R / H4, but I couldn't find any in amazon (I got gift card).
Is this battery size group so rare?

Thanks

Those are 3 different sizes. Maybe they all 3 will fit. H4 or H5 seem to be the proper size though.

Can I ask why you are buying a battery on a newer car? It shouldn't be bad at this point, and even it were shouldn't your replacement be covered under warranty?

Re: Looking for car battery for Corolla LE 2020 in amazon

it's already weak and I can already see mineral deposit building up (corrosion?) on its negative terminal. So, I need to drive for about 20-30 mins to be able to start the car next day, and that's a weak start, but it'll start the car. bought the car in nov 2019.

Corrosion on the terminal is a charging issue. I'd look at having the alternator tested vs changing the battery.

This is the pic of the batteries

for some reason, [IMG] tag doesnt work for pictures...

Alternator caused this?
I can see "D6" on the label at the top, is that the size group of that battery?



Thanks

1) Go to auto parts store(s), find brands and model #s of batteries.

2) Search online by battery brand and model rather than auto.

Re: Looking for car battery for Corolla LE 2020 in amazon

so, I called toyota dealer, and they said the battery is H4. does anyone know the equivalent for that size ? 140R? 35? cause the mechanic said H4 is not the same as size 35, and he never heard of 140R...I think size group with number like 35 or 48 is called BCI group size.
the dimension of my current battery is L 8 in W 7 in H 6.5 in.

H4 is a weird battery and you really won't find an equivalent. It exists. You just have to see who carries it.

Re: Looking for car battery for Corolla LE 2020 in amazon

honestly, this is a shock to me, I thought corolla is supposed to be car for the masses, it's cheap and it lasts really long, but never have I thought that finding a common spare part like battery would be this difficult...
