Start battery finally gave out, what’s the preferred replacement?

‘18 Navigator Reserve

Service manager called and said I need a new battery… this didn’t come as a surprise as mine is 4 years old and I’ve been having the tale tale signs of imminent failure… ie interior lights shutting off quickly, touch door lock issues etc…

What’s the consensus on the best replacement? I looked through the search function and found a lot of ‘Northstar’ recommendations but they seem to be hard to find.

Thoughts and recommendations are appreciated.

If a Costco member, that is the best source for a battery. They only carry interstate. Most batteries were made by Johnson Controls (now Brookfield Business Partners.).
I think you will find that most "gold" series batteries are quite similar in CCA regardless of the brand.

Costco does not install batteries, but you can swap out the old with the new in the parking lot making it convenient to receive your core refund.
