Has anyone replaced their LS460 battery with a Costco one? Looking to buy from them since their exchanges are easy to due.
From what I gather, our battery are group 24- but Costco is not listing one to replace. They do have a group 24 with 700 cold cranking power and the Positive on the Left side.
Can this be a good replacement or can anyone recommend a brand to replace with for a 2008 LS460L?

I always got Diehard Gold batteries for my cars. About 2 years ago I got a Costco battery for my Q45a because it was cheaper and I didn't expect to keep the car too much longer (actually its gone now and I have to update my signature). Anyway, the battery died in less than a year. Tried recharging it and it wouldn't hold a charge. I returned it to Costco and got an easy no hassle refund. I went back to Diehard, who BTW consistently get top ratings for Consumer Reports.

I'm sure I just got a bad battery from Costco and it is not the norm, but sometimes you just have to have a bad experience once to stay away from a product or service.

I went DieHard as well I can check the size for you I forgot off the top of my head I think it was 27 but it has the most RC of any battery even the optima's, which was important for me as I never seen below 40 degrees so CCA wasnt a big of an issue. I dont think you would either in socal

I would GREATLY appreciate if you can check the battery model number. Ill go with the Die Hard Gold since this seems to be highly rated here. Can you please advise asap? Looking to purchase when I get off work today.

I purchased one for my 2008 LS460L, two weeks ago at my local Costco and it works perfectly.

can you advise the item number or specs on the battery? I called them and they dont have a battery for the 2008 LS460L...at least that is what they said.

cant believe this...Costco only carries group 24 certain states and not in S. Cali.
Im looking into the DieHard Gold but they only carry group 27 (bigger battery) for our cars. Im concerned that it will not fit properly. Hopefully someone can chime in that has a Sears battery in their car.

EverStart from Walmart has worked well for me! It's been in my 07 now for 3 years plus and 50k miles. As I recall, when I bought it, Consumer Report ranked highly.

Consider getting a battery from AAA? Got mine replaced today for 108 including tax and installation if you're a member. Comes with a 6 year warranty.
