After almost 8 years, the battery in the Corolla finally bit the dust (unless a parasytic drain developed overnight).
I went crazy and bought a group 24F even though the car requires a group 35 battery (some quick forum search indicated it fits, but tight).
I installed it, but I'm not crazy about the fit: it's bigger than the tray, and it touches the upper radiator hose (mind you this is a short 24F - only 10.25"). I somewhat regret going with this size as I wanted to insulate the battery and now it's being heated by the radiator hose.
I went with the $50 ValueStart because the exterior was identical to the $75 EverStart Plus (apart from the stickers), and weight seemed about the same too.
The group 35 ValueStart was not on the shelf (best seller I imagine), but the EverStart Plus and Max had the same casing for this group size.
