It comes with a standard flooded battery. You can usually step up to an AGM in the same Group 25 for longer life, but it isn't required. A 550-640 CCA rating is typical for this class. Matching or slightly exceeding the OEM figure is fine; going below it risks hard starts in winter. Group 25 defines the case size and terminal layout (standard-terminal layout), so any reputable Group 25 battery will fit the tray and connect correctly.

Where to buy a Group 25 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:
