Patrol: a battery for the dunes
A Patrol on a dune trip idles with the air conditioning at full, runs recovery lights and compressors, and gets restarted after every stop. Its battery, around 100Ah across the XE, SE, LE, Platinum and Nismo trims, is sized for that. A smaller battery fitted to save money will usually start the car at home, then leave it struggling in the desert on a hot afternoon, which is the worst possible place to find out.
