True, but I doubt the "premium" battery Jayeh's dealer is selling is the Panasonic battery, especially not for only $30 more than a Canadian Tire generic battery.

I had to replace a battery in my Lexus IS300 and just on a whim, I asked the dealer how much a replacement Panasonic battery would cost. They told me that it was something they don't normally carry in stock, would be about $450 and would have to be special ordered from Japan and would take a couple weeks.
