    Have a 2010 Yaris that needs a new battery. It just clicks when you turn the key and will only start from a jump start. The car has start-stop but Ive got it turned off

    Do I need a start stop battery for the car?

    Seems your dead battery is stopping your car from starting..... Yes, I'll flap off :o

    Take the numbers off the battery and search online what it is

    It's a standard battery. You should check your local Toyota dealer from pricing, sometimes can be cheaper than motor factors.

    I could be wrong but it's not necessarily the battery, it could also be the alternator or alternator timing belt (convinced with a battery that needs a run to charge it up).

    I'm sure you mean the auxiliary belt :).

    If its a 2010 Yaris on its original battery, now would e the time to replace it regardless of whether it is the underlying reason for your no start. Get the best battery you can afford, its a false economy going for cheaper brands. a stop start specific battery wouldnt be necessary.
