Costco Interstate Battery ... What am I missing ?

Costco is very easy to deal with for warranty.
They don't even check voltage.
All the parts stores and the interstate warehouse will require a charge and load test before they do anything.
The only drawback to costco is they seem to only have the best selling sizes.
I bought a new battery for my 2015 jeep there Saturday and they replaced another one from a different vehicle for free.
I have a wholesale account with the interstate warehouse. I still buy everything I can at costco.
The prices are better and the replacement procedure is unbeatable.

 

I ran that battery. It lasted 2.5ish years like every other battery out here in the desert.

 

The Costco-Interstate batteries in 24F AGM and 27F may be hard to find. I couldn't find either in my area and settled for the 24F. They are a good price and have them in all our vehicles. Although the aux battery in my Taco is a Deka AGM 34R.

 

Where did you get the Deka at ? I couldnt seem to find them in my area - Inland Empire.

 

I've been getting batteries from Costco for years. Wouldn't overthink it...it's a name brand battery from a more than reputable retailer. Any issues you just bring it back to them.

 

I ran the standard Costco interstate 24F in our '08 and it lasted me just about a year. The truck isn't a daily, would sometimes sit a week or 2 between being driven so that could have something to do with it but I was blown away it failed so fast. Never had a battery fail so soon in any of our vehicles. I brought it in and they pro-rated me into a 24F AGM(was out of stock the first time or I would have bought it) and now after 3-4 months the AGM has been working great and starting the truck better plus holding charge even in winter temps with the sometimes 1-2 weeks between being driven.

 

[QUOTE="mic_sierra, post: 29466201, member: 383480"....you may want to consider the weight difference.[/QUOTE]

7 lb difference per my scale.

 

I'm wondering which Interstate model Costco's compare to, MT or MTP? It seems like Costco's posted Specifications is between those models.
The 27F appears to have the same specs, but the 24F is different than what's posted on their websites.
