Our factory‑trained technicians understand the 86’s architecture and follow Toyota procedures to protect sensitive electronics and safety systems, preventing errors that can arise from improper installation. The service time is efficient — typically 30–45 minutes — but we never rush critical verification steps.

2017 Toyota 86 Battery Type

The recommended battery type for the 2017 Toyota 86 is a 12‑volt maintenance‑free lead‑acid unit, with AGM alternatives available for owners seeking enhanced durability and performance. Lead‑acid maintenance‑free batteries provide reliable starting power and good value for typical driving, while AGM batteries deliver improved vibration resistance, deeper cycle performance and generally better heat tolerance — attributes beneficial in Florida’s climate. At Coggin Toyota at the Avenues we advise the best option based on your driving profile, accessory use, and long‑term ownership plans. We prioritize OEM or manufacturer‑approved batteries because they meet specified cold cranking amps (CCA) and reserve capacities required by the 86’s systems. Selecting the correct type at the time of replacement reduces the likelihood of accessory or sensor issues and prevents electrical stress that could shorten component life. Additionally, warranty considerations favor dealership installation: repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to ensure continued protection and authorized claims processing, which our service team handles directly for your convenience.

2017 Toyota 86 Battery Size

Battery fitment for the 2017 Toyota 86 is commonly Group 35, but fitment can vary with production details and optional equipment, so verification is important.

At Coggin Toyota at the Avenues our technicians confirm the factory‑recommended group and specifications during an inspection and will recommend OEM‑matched sizes or performance upgrades when appropriate. Using the correct size prevents undue stress on the battery tray, connectors and surrounding components, and reduces the risk of loose connections that can cause intermittent faults or corrosion. We stock the correct sizes and install them following Toyota procedures, and we register the new battery with the vehicle’s onboard systems when required. For warranty compliance, replacements for warranty‑covered batteries must be done at a certified dealership — our team will complete the work and handle any warranty processing to protect your coverage and investment.
