    Looks like the batteries have gone up in price - no thanks to the dollar being in the toilet. The 24F is now $93, up from $85 back in the fall.

    so my battery is on its way out.
    might be a dumb question but here it is.
    if i could get the stock Panasonic battery for the same price as the Costco 24f battery, which one should i get? stick with stock or go with the 24f

    Costco battery has a better warranty.
    Do your research, I read from a lot of sources the optima batteries have gone down hill.
    I just picked up an Odyssey battery, was expensive but is AGM and deep cycle, so pairs well with my audio setup and dash cam.

    yep, they are the only place that carries it. It came down to that or the Motomaster Ultra whatever, but the Odyssey has better specs for the same price.

    Finally replaced the original factory Panasonic battery in my 2010 with the Kirkland 24F. The starter sounds and feels much stronger! Glad I got this done before the winter. And lots of room in the gen2 battery box. I had to fiddle with the negative post connector (make it tighter) as the negative terminal on the 24F was a bit smaller. Love the built-in handle too. Will see how things go for the next week and then I will return the old battery for my $10 core refund.

    Lots of fresh (10/15) 24F stock at the Markham location (Woodbine and 407)

    Hi thanks for the thread. Car wouldn't start this morning and had to jump start it. Came across this thread and wanted to buy the 24f. Called Costco and they told me they don't carry battery for my car (2010 3 GS 2.0L Auto), I then asked them if they have the 24f and they said yes $100+tax, 3 yrs full warranty and 5yrs prorated. I asked if I could come and buy it but the customer rep told me they won't sell me if it is not right size for my car. My question is if I can buy it from Costco somehow will the warranty be void because I am using it in a car whose battery size is not 24f.

    Thanks in advance.

    Whoever you talked to was blowing smoke out his ass.
    The batteries at Costco are self-serve, just like everything else except tires. Find the battery section, grab a 24F, toss it in the cart and take it to the checkout. Pay for it. Done

    And no, it won't affect your warranty in the slightest.

    Might take a full drive cycle to sort itself out... removing the battery resets the ECU's parameters so it has to relearn.

    I assume 24f lasts longer than an 8?

    I have that in my car

    I am thinking it should last longer for at least two reasons. 1) Since the larger battery starts out with more overall capacity: compared to a smaller battery, for the same percentage degradation over time the larger battery will have higher output. 2) The less you can avoid deep-cycling a car battery the less charge-cycle wear. Since a hard winter start will draw down the capacity of the larger battery less there should be less wear on it. Hmmm... as I type this I am thinking those two reasons may actually be essentially the same. Or not?
