    Cheap Batteries from Toyota

    Just read a posting elsewhere, no names, where the list price for a genuine Toyota battery for a Prado is only $1,590-oo.

    Oh what a feeling ( in the hip pocket )

    Well they have to sticky tape a lot of AA batteries together to make one - it's very labour intensive.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".
