Battery problem

Does your Costco carry the 24F? I thought they had only Group 35,
which is too small. But it's the same Johnson Controls made at
Autozone or Walmart. Whichever one is closer I guess.

Interesting. I don't remember. Gotta check. But the battery did
look a little smaller than I expected. (It certainly doesn't
completely occupy the battery tray... hmm...)

The selection book gave the frame size for the Camry, and I took
whatever the book recommended. It only recommended one number, and
they had it in stock, so I got it.

$58 or so, plus $9 battery core fee, refunded when I turned in my old
battery...

I'm in Sacramento... winters aren't THAT terrible here, but the
summers are awful...
