Default Battery question

Anyone ever buy a battery from Costco? Does it fit in our car?

Default Don't know about Costco, but the Sears DieHard Internation series works perfectly...

I've looked at my local Costco and have never seen the size needed...

Default Costco

I'd buy a Costco battery in a heartbeat IF they came in our size. Unfortunately they don't (at least here in the Atlanta metro area).
I bought mine from Autozone for about $120 or so.

Autozone has one too. I've had no trouble with it.

Default Re: Costco

IN the last couple of years, Costco has apparently cut way back on the Group Numbers they stock. I recently was looking for a Costco battery for my 993TT, too... No longer carried either.

They even had the spot on the shelf where the A8 battery should have been stocked, but the Tire Center Manager confirmed that it had been discontinued.

Default call AAA-they will test & install @ home or work

I have one in my '02 S8, you cant beat the service. They have free replacement warranty within 36 months for product failure (bad cell etc)and a pro-rated 72 month warranty.

Thanks for all the responses. I guess I'm stuck with an Energizer.

Just as long as you don't hear the drum banging around in your trunk all the time :-)

do they still sell Optima batts? They fit no problem and work pretty good. Red Top.
