    Hi, Need to get a new car battery and was at costco yesterday and saw an interstate battery with the following info: Costco Fitment code 29, Group H6/48 70ah. It did not list CCA. Thought te label says Automotive. Just wondering if this would work. have Can't tell if this is Deep Cycle since no CCA was listed.The fitment manual lists nothing for Audi's but I read somewhere that the Group 48 will fit. My current battery is an interstate H6/48 70ah, but it lists CCA 730.

    Thanks

    If the battery physically fits in the bay, it'll work. Its really that simple. You never want to undersize however.

    How much are the Costco batteries? Mine is on it's way out, if I leave the car sitting for a week the battery goes flat. Fine if I drive it regularly, but not really driving it much lately so having a dead battery every time I want to drive it is getting old.

    ok thanks. it's definitely the same size as my current one. Just the fact that it was nnot listing a CCA was making me wonder. At my Northern Virginia Costco, this particular battery is $109 and has a 42 month warranty.

    Im not sure how cold your winters are in Virginia, but I wouldn't buy a battery without knowing its cca's. Then again, we have a long winter here
