from an old post=
Battery types
The correct battery fitted to these cars is a JIS (Japanese Industry Standard) 80D26L which is a 70AH battery with a 570A cold cranking capability approximately 260mm long x 175mm wide x 220mm tall with conical terminal posts and with the positive terminal on the right looking at the long side closer to the terminals.

There is no exact European equivalent but a few companies do now manufacture batteries to the JIS standard. Here are the equivalents I've found so far:-

Bosch Asia Silver 7BA
Varta Asia dynamic 068 part no. 570 137 057 2082
Lucas 030/4
Yuasa 030/4
Numax Premium 068
If those numbers confuse your local battery dealer, the same battery also fits the following cars:-

Lexus GS 300 '93 on
Lexus LS 400 '89 - Dec.'97
Lexus RX 300 3 litre V6 Oct.'00 on
Lexus SC 300 coupé May '91 on
Lexus SC 400 coupé May '91 on
Mazda 626 2 litre diesel '92 - '97
Toyota Camry 1.8TD & 2.0TD '83 - '86
Toyota Camry II 2.5i V6 Estate/Kombi '88 - '92
Toyota Camry III 3 litre V6 Estate/Kombi '91 - '96
Toyota Corolla VII 1.9D & 2.0D '93 - '95
Toyota Cressida '77 - '84
Toyota Crown (rwd) '71 - '83
Toyota Picnic 2.2TD Nov.'97 on
Toyota Previa 2.0TD '01 on

you may pay a little more for the bosch silvertop battery's but they should come with a 5 year manfacturer's warranty,which is worth it.

my mate who owns a car spare's shop recomend's these and ive had a couple on previous car's myself.only had one pack in after about 18 months use due to leaking cell,and i took it back and got a brand new replacement free of charge under warranty.
