Then why dont you get the Group 35 battery from Costco which is a perfect fit size-wise? (uhm)Has anyone put a 24F battery in their cx5?
Walmart has their platinum 24f with 5 year replacement warranty for $150. Size 35 platinums are about $200 with 3 year warranty at the typical car repair shops. The costco/interstate is $80 with 3 year.
People here have been using Group 35 battery for replacement on CX-5, and claimed its a perfect fit size-wise.I thought group size 26 was the OEM battery.Last week I got a Superstart Premium 35 from O'reilly auto parts for ~ 149$ out the door.Made by East Penn/Deka,not JCI or Exide.Rated at 550 CCA versus the 320 CCA of 6 year old factory Panasonic which measured 256 CCA.Glad I did it.This morning at 19* outside it spun over great.
If you really cant wait, find a Group 35 battery at WalMart (should be less than $100) or some other auto parts store. Or get a Group 26R battery if you cant find a Group 35.I'm dumb. Forgot to mention Costco was out of batteries until this weekend and I need one before hand.
