    My factory battery was corroding everything. So I had the battery tray replaced and switch to a red top Optima. Not a problem since.

    The factory battery was a Panasonic, and died a few months after I bought the VX.

    Mine had a Furukawa Hi Dash. (Yeah, I never heard of them either.) It just died last week. Replaced with a Diehard.

    Well, I Guess I'm trying to see if more than 1 type was distributed as my Yuasa Has a sticker on it that says:

    Distr. by American Isuzu Motors

    Whittier Ca.


    And, when they warrantied my battery in the Ebony, they replaced it with a Delco. That was from M'lady Isuzu In Cary, Illinois.

    That dealer sold about the last 100 or more of the final, new 2001 models, that were available in the country.

    Most came with a Panasonic brand battery, the two I owned (Still have one) did. Mine just gave up due to a shorted cell (5 years) and I replaced it with an Optima red top.
