I just ended up replacing my Costco Interstate Group 35 battery on my CX-5 which was about 2.5 years old that I had got from Costco on a warranty replacement. So, no additional warranty left. The battery was apparently leaking per the towing service guy. It was occasionally acting up and the car would not start. We thought it was the key fobs and replaced those batteries. But then last week I was sitting in the parking lot with the engine off and listening to the radio. Within an hour the car would not start. My wife brought the other key fob thinking it was that but would not start either.
The tow service guy jumped the vehicle and said your battery is gone, and it's leaking. Since it was late evening, I just needed the jump and drove it home. The next day, I thought the car would not start.
To my surprise it started and drove to Walmart auto service center and replaced it with an Ever start Ever Maxx 35 group battery with a three-year warranty. So far so good and hopefully it lasts. After they installed it, I sprayed the terminals with the CRC terminal spray protector.
We are in sunny south Florida, and the weather probably takes a toll on these batteries. Anyone has used the Everstart Evermaxx batteries on their CX-5?
