1) I recommend a Group 24F battery, not the smaller Group 35.
2) Starting a new thread to hash over the same problems doesn’t sound like a good idea.

Rav4 EV 12 volt Battery recommendations:
Please, PLEASE, folks. Replace that original Toyota battery now... while this story is fresh in your mind.
You’re going to replace it anyway, and that replacement Bosch battery isn’t going to get any cheaper!
Please, stop the madness. Replace your Toyota battery, even if you’re too cheap or lazy to do so.
1) AGM (not flooded acid cells like the original)
2) Group 24F size
3) 60 amp/hour rating

Bosch S6508B S6 or Exide Edge FP-AGM24F battery with the correct specs is $150-$180. Units are built by Enersys.
Autozone also has a competing battery, built by Johnson Controls called Duralast Platinum for about $200:

What is lost and needs to be reset with a 12 volt disconnect:
http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=20859#p20859
1) Stored radio / SiriusXM stations will remain, however your last station listened to will likely be gone
2) Cell phone pairings are not 100%, so I would check. i have had to delete my phone (and the car from my phone) and re-pair it
3) Map display mode
4) Volume of navigation voice notifications
5) Random play modes
6) Charge schedule will be retained, but it won't work without hitting the "SAVE" button on the previous screen
7) state selection from destination address page
