It comes with a standard flooded battery. You can usually step up to an AGM in the same Group 151R for longer life, but it isn't required. The 330-410 CCA rating suits this vehicle's modest starting demands; match it or go slightly above. Group 151R defines the case size and terminal layout (reversed-terminal layout (r)), so any reputable Group 151R battery will fit the tray and connect correctly. Some trims or engines use Group 51R instead, so always confirm against the label on your current battery.

Where to buy a Group 151R battery

A car battery is heavy and expensive to ship, so buying in person (Walmart, Costco, or a local auto-parts store) often beats online once you count free installation and the core-charge refund on your old battery. To compare prices and reviews online:
