Which Genuine battery is that?
I was going to post in a related thread, but I think this topic has sufficient merit to be deserving of its own.
I looked at my replacement battery after it was done with my starter motor upgrade...
Mine is an "Excide" with 660 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps). It also had a "Mazda Service" sticker on the top of it.
Nothing too odd about that. 660 is a nice jump from 440 or whatever the old one was.
But then last night, when I removed one of the said replacement batteries out of a customers RX-8 while a s/c upgrade was being performed (sshhhh) and it was only 440 CCA (might have been 460).
The the next bit was even better. On the front face of it was a full size sticker:
"Genuine Toyota Replacement Part"
Now that is funny.
I know batteries are batteries, but this is quite humorous!!!!
Cheers,
Hymee.
PS - Don't ask about the s/c 'cause it will only be denied :p

Got mine back today after the upgrade. Poor buggers were kind enough to wash most of the 2500km worth of bugs off the nose for me.
