    Are there aftermarket batteries available at any auto parts stores Sam's
    wal-Mart, Sears, auto Zone, Pep Boys, etc. that have a battery for this
    vehicle? O haven't priced one at the local Hyundai dealer but I am sure
    that with Hyundai's name on it from the local dealer that ir will be at
    least $150 or $200 for a $60 battery. Is there any reason (computer
    operation, terminal placement or sizes), that would keep me from taking the
    physical size to an auto parts store and getting a battery for it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Both my xg350's have Walmart batteries. Very happy with them.

    Thanks Dan. Found out this morning that the battery is a 24F size group.

    BTW Hyundai dealer locally wants $119 for the battery and a minimum of .5
    hours labor at $90 dollars an hour to install it.(total $164) Warranty is
    12 months or 12,000 miles at the "dealer" The word reminds me of a slick
    card shark from Vegas or a drug peddler. whichever comes first.

    Wal-Mart's is an Energizer 3 yr direct replacement with 6 yr prorated for
    $60 dollars installed.
    Guess who is not going to sell me a battery?

    I have a 2002 Sonata and experienced th
    same problem. I measured the battery and noted the polarity of th
    connections. Then went to Sam's, looked through the inventory an
    chose one that was pretty close. It works great and got out fo
    around $65.00 and it is a heavy duty model. Batteries are the sam
    if the polarity is correct and the ampre-hour ratings are the same o
    better. I keep emphasizing the polarity because my son has put two i
    backwards and that becomes costly

    Not only will they have batteries for your car but they will likely install
    it for you for a nominal fee. There is nothing to say you cannot put a non-
    Hyundai battery in your car. Shop around and get the best deal.

    yess, Got a series 24F for it. You can't however use the stupid plastic box
    the battery sets in though. The carrying (removal handle) for the new
    battery gets in the way. Thanks.
