just buy one from AAA. they have probably the best warranty out there. they install it 4 u, take the core and also test out the alternator. and their batteries r manufactured by interstate.

The average life of a battery is 3 years! Everything in the G35 is electronic from the door locks to the ignition. Depending on which battery you choose they can last years longer...."You get what you pay for!"
