Battery Size?
What's the OEM battery size for a second gen RX350?
Had to jump start the car yesterday after not driving it for two days. it also didn't start again today.
it was a Nissan battery purchased at one of their dealerships 3.5 years ago... not too bad i guess, but planning to run to Costco after work.
My searches have come back that oem size is either a 24F or 35... which one is it? what's the biggest battery that can fit in our cars? I live in the northeast and as it gets cold, CCA is very important for me
update: Picked up an interstate 24f from Costco. They stopped selling Kirkland brand batteries!! Warranty is 48 month for a full refund for the interstate. Kirkland was made by Johnson controls, wonder if interstate is also

i have a costco battery, its great. they have a book to help you pick the right one out.
if your old one isnt completely shot. get a trickle charger and use it as a back up / booster.

24F is the specified one. 24F is slightly shorter. Group 35 fits too with some washers added to the hold down. Other than that, it works.

Walmart , EverStart MAXX-24FN . 750 CCA. It's a high quality battery that's received very good reviews. Made by Johnson Controls.
Exact fit, 3 year warranty. Here in NY, it was $85.00 + $5.00 core deposit.

Got my 35 from Costco. Costco no longer sells the Kirkland Brand (which is made by Johnson Controls). I forgot what brand they carry now. Prices have been creeping up though. Maybe Wallyworld is the better option.

Thanks for asking, it took 5 weeks and 1 trip back, but it has been done and am happy with the result. I had a fading trim (the one on top of the chrome strip above the plate) that was re-painted. So everything looks OEM in the back.

Was at Costco yesterday and they have switched over to Interstate Batteries. I saw the 24F @ $82 plus core charge. Not bad for a full 3 year warranty and the extended partial warranty to 6 years.
Batteries have changed for the better in the last few years. As long as you keep the terminals clean and use a trickle charger if the car is not a daily driver, you will be good for at least 5 years.
