What CCA does a Toyota Prado need?

Petrol Prados typically ship with a battery around 550 CCA, and diesel Prados around 610 CCA. A replacement battery with meaningfully higher CCA than factory gives you a larger safety margin, particularly for cold starts and after the battery has aged a year or two.

Can I fit a sodium ion battery in place of my Prado's factory lead acid battery?

In most cases sodium ion batteries are designed as drop in replacements for the equivalent lead acid capacity class, but exact case dimensions and terminal layout should always be confirmed with Salty Cells before you buy, since this varies across Prado series and model years.

Do I need a bigger battery if I run a fridge in my Prado?

If your fridge and accessories run off the main starting battery with no isolator, yes, you should size up and consider a dual battery system. If you already run a proper dual battery setup with a DC to DC charger, the auxiliary battery is what needs to handle the cycling, not the starting battery.

How long should a Prado battery last in Australia?

A standard lead acid battery typically lasts 2 to 3 years in Australian conditions, dropping faster in hot climates or with heavy parked time in summer. A sodium ion battery is built for a longer service life and is backed by a 5 year warranty.

Is sodium ion better than AGM for a Prado used for remote touring?

For remote touring specifically, sodium ion's tolerance for heat and its much higher cycle count make it a stronger match than AGM, which tends to degrade faster under repeated deep discharge and high ambient temperatures.
