You mean they won't test the battery still in the car? I have to take it out?

Default YOu bet your a$$ they do - they have one that is group 48D, IIRC it is their #12. I have purchased

3 Costco batteries over the past two years (I have 3 cars - 2 VAG and 1 Acura). Best price + best warranty = super value. They will install or you can DIY and bring back the old one for core refund. I'll nevr go anywhere else for batteries or tires! STFA on my uid and you should find the details. C5 or B5 forums...

Default I agree that this voltage range is what you should see measuring across the battery terminals w/

engine running. Max thoretical voltage of a lead/acid battery is 12.8V
