Autocraft Gold 151R battery at AAP for $65.99

AAP has a $40 off $110 coupon right now, and a $25 mail-in rebate for Autocraft Gold batteries.

$130.99 - $40 - $25 MIR = $65.99



Based on advice from others on this forum, I bought a Kirkland 51R from Costco and tried to put it in, but the fit was not good. It was jammed between the intake and the fuse box with no room to spare, not to mention the battery terminals will not fit without some sort of modification. There might have been some vibration noise issues had I actually installed it.

I'd rather not deal with all that, and this price is right for the original fitment battery, so this is what I'm going with. After the mail-in rebate, the battery ends up being cheaper than the Kirkland 51R.

This is for a 96R battery. Will it fit? It seem to have similar dimensions to the 51R.

Don't follow the link - choose the battery for your car and use the rest of the steps to get the $40 off and find the $25 rebate.

The deals is good for all batteries.

In case anyone else buy's this battery, the positive terminal is a little smaller in diameter than the OEM battery. I had to buy a lead terminal post shim from AAP. The negative post fits fine.
