Default Best source for a battery

Looking to change the battery on 13 GS; it's 3 years old and is testing as needing to be replaced (I don't drive this car much anymore). Any suggestions re: best source for a Lexus battery? Thanks!

Go to Costco get yourself an Interstate Battery. Great price and good warranty. You don't need to spend $$$ on OEM battery.

Also get a Battery Tender to keep your battery charged if you don't drive your GS much like me. I use this one:

I go to advanced auto for mine. I hit retailmenot.com bcuz they usually have 25% off online coupons. Order, pickup, and go home. Go to wherever you get the best deal.

I have had great experience with Duralast from Autozone with my BMW. Both ones that I bought lasted over four years and was way less than half the price of OEM. I haven’t had to replace the battery on the GS as it is only year and a half old. I did have an early failure on my IS but that was replaced by the dealer under warranty. Good luck.

It's Walmart with Duralast Maxx for my cars. Used the on the Honda Ody and TL. Mines lasted around 4.5 years on the Honda.

For the GS350, it's showing: Everstart MAXX-24

Make sure you pick the newest battery on the shelf and compare the CCA and warranty.

Costco will sell you a battery, but they won‘t install it. Sam‘s Club will.

this is the battery I recommend :https://www.pepboys.com/bosch-platin...product/844459

Works great, and was a drop in replacement, no modifications whatsoever. Pep boys might even have a discount code you can use.

It took me 10 minutes to swap
