Welcome to the club forum! 10" x 6.5" x 7" tall is the size of the oe battery cover so measure the batterys, you can omit the battery cover & go a little bigger too.

The North American battery size for a Lexus IS is Group 24.

The Interstate appears to be the correct size. Personally I like the new AGM Techolocy and have this battery:

That's a great choice, I have a Bosch in my IS350 but it's not AGM.

Thanks for all your help folks. I ended up going to Lexus Dealership for a battery. Cost me $180

The Interstate Battery that Costco sells is $80. 4 years warranty full replacement. But you will have to swap on your own. That's what I have. They did not have the 24F, got the 24 but had to shim it up with a 1" piece of wood. Works!

They don't sell Kirkland anymore - Interstate like mandyfig stated

The Group 24F is the WRONG battery for the IS series. Group 24 and Group 24F are the same size, but have reversed polarity. Don't know why you would need to shim it, the Group 24 is the correct replacement battery for a Lexus IS series vehicle and fits perfectly. AMHIK.

I picked up an Interstate battery from Costco a few months back and from what I remember, they had the correct size battery, but the polarity was on the wrong side from what I needed. I decided to get it anyway, and installed it backwards so the polarity was on the correct side. Luckily the terminals were long enough to reach the battery posts.

I actually ended up getting another model, I will let you know what it is. The good thing is that it had a higher CCA, right polarity but an inch short in height. I needed a battery right then so I grabbed it. No big deal, I had a 2"x4"x1" pressure treated wood, I was happy.
