I would go with optima or a XS Power. The one thing to remember is places like Walmart and Costco get the refurbished optima, not the new ones. We've run into a lot of problems with that up in Canada.

Home depot sells Exide batteries at the store now. Not sure what group size the 370z takes but picked one (24fx) up for my G earlier this year for $100+tax. 40 month replacement warranty.
We'll see how easily it is to exchange the battery around month 36.

I also got a Check Engine Light after starting the car on the dying battery. Hopefully that is related and will go away after replacing the battery?

I could have used supplied spacer, that snaps on bottom of battery & raises it up about an inch; but liked the way it sit lower and flat in the tray.
I turned around hold down strap (notice arrow facing rear) and put the short J bolt in the lowest hole / then used a spacer (chrome 1/4 inch drive socket) over threads of longer front J bolt and put nut down against it. Holds good & weight of battery is about 1" lower. Don't over tighten. Width of battery is a tad narrower/ so when I get back to work, gonna make a rubberized spacer to go between top of battery & brace.....could leave as is; but gonna pay attention to detail. 720cca 160$ (including tax) works like a charm. Btw.. Had to re-time my windows. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
