Battery Group Size?

[300kmi97camry]

Can anyone tell me the battery group size for 1997 camry v6. i have a 35 in now but why do the parts stores say a 24 will fit also. I would rather get a 24 it has higher CCA it's cheaper but is a bigger in dimensions. Will it fit in the battery area

You can use any of these 2 sizes. My old battery was a 35 and then I replaced it with a 24 last month. It should fit with no problem.

i would stick with whats on the car already.

(example)if it has 34 batt then buy 34 batt.

Will the 24 fit a 5S-FE Camry?

Did someone slipped a smaller, cheaper battery in there?

You usually want the largest battery that fits. The 24 also gives you higher reserve capacity. I'd stay away from the smaller 35 unless you have to use it (clearance issues).

Interstate (a Johnson Controls brand, Walmart, Autozone Duralast Gold, etc), also has a higher capacity version of 24 that's 0.75" longer. It may not fit into the standard Group 24 battery heat shield.

Check the side of the POS and NEG posts. You may need the 24F instead of the 24. The same battery, but POS are on different sides.

You can find those info on interstatebatteries.com. However the link doesn't seem to work, so you'll have to type it in yourself. Or try it later:
