Where this came from

toyotapartsandservice.com (Toyota factory battery-application chart, 2023) — source“86/GR 86 2017-2020 ZN6 (FA20) 35”
ft86club.com (owner reading the OEM battery in their FA20 BRZ/86) — source“Made by Johnson Controls. Group size for our car is group 35”

The group size carries our verified badge only when the automaker's own battery chart and an independent retailer finder agree on it — two genuinely separate sources, never two resellers of the same data. CCA is shown as an OE minimum, a “choose at least this” floor, never a verified number, because the right CCA is a property of the battery you pick. Your owner's manual is always the final word.
