Hello
I serviced my car the other day and they told me that I need to replace my battery asap. Any recommendations?
Thank you in advance for your help

interstate batteries seem to last the longest

Thank you for your answer.
There are many factors that I don't understand. Suck as size (dimensions), battery capacity, Cold start current, etc.
When I entered my car's registration info into a car parts website, I got 4 different options, with AH ranging from 42 to 92.
My car is a Yaris 2011.

The colder the climate, the higher the CCA (cold cranking amps) you want.
You need the correct size to fit in the location. Use the battery group number to determine that.

In my experience the battery that lasts longest are the ones that come with the vehicle as original equipment. Typically seven years! Replacement batteries seem to go about four years.

you get the most bang for your buck at walmart. If the local parts store sell you the same CCA as walmart but at different price , why not go with lower price.

OP is in EU. No Walmart or Interstate battery. Might not even be a group 35 depending on engine. They don't have the 1NZ-FE there.

European here, 2SZFE engine.
I am using Varta C22. Right size and distance of battery terminals. 60 USD.
Sweden might be a bit colder than Central Europe where I reside but I have started my car up easily in -25 degrees. You can crank those small engines up with anything.
