Battery at auto parts store didn't fit

The battery finally went so I took it to the auto parts store. Auto Parts store had a 35S listed > it was a bit too small. the battery bar was a bit over sized on each side. there was about a 1/4"-1/2" of play room on either side.
I took it to Toyota and got the OE battery and it fit perfect.
What a PITN

You should Always look for the battery number. Like my battery number is NS60LS

I did but it was an AC Delco replacement. It was a 35P or something. But the parts specialist said 35S. Whatever it was I'm just happy to have a genuine Toyota Battery that fits better and was cheaper.

I found a link to a battery maintenance video - https://www.ericthecarguy.com/electrical-videos/1161-battery-care-and-maintenance-tips
