I was at Costco last night, and without realizing it, bought a Group 24F battery for my 430. Once I woke up from the drive home, I realized what I had done. The + and - poles are reversed on this battery, so the positive pole is on the left.

I called Costco this morning, and they DON'T carry the Group 24 (non-F) battery. The only way I can install it is if put it in backwards, which would leave a greater distance for the positive and negative terminals to reach.

My question is this -- are the battery terminal cables long enough to where they would reach if I installed this battery in the car? The car has been at home all day while I've been on the road, but was going to give it a shot tonight.

 

Which firment code # did you buy. It's the # on the front of the battery. It's costcos code number

 

I bought fitment code # 23.

 

I use Costco Fitment #9 Group 25. Fits perfectly. 1998 GS400.

 

Good to know.....I think I'll swap it out today for that one. Looks like the only difference between the two is about .06" in width, and maybe a few CCAs.
