Exide 24fx battery is still $100 at home depot with trade in.
Exide Extreme 24F Auto Battery-24FX - The Home Depot
800 CCA (cold cranking amps at 0° F) or 960 at 32° F. It's slightly larger than the stock battery but does fit. There's quite a few of us running a group 24F battery in this car. 40 Month exchange warranty.

Whenever I priced batteries the dealer was only a few dollars higher than independent shops.
I always specify a 700cca battery. A 450 or 600cca battery is always cheaper but may not perform well in cold climates or last as long.
An advantage of using the dealer is if you travel out of state any Infiniti dealer will honor the warranty.
Another advantage is everything works when you leave the dealer.
To me it is worth the extra few dollars.
I obtain my savings at the gas pump.

There are far more Home Depot stores around than Infiniti dealerships, and I can guarantee they'll give you much less hassle on a warranty exchange than a local dealership. Take the $175 that you save over the dealer's wacko pricing to buy a battery hold down, then spend the other $170 to buy weed, Adderall, and fidget spinners or whatever it is you crazy kids are into these days.
i didnt even know home depot sold car batteries. mine doesnt or ive never seen it and i go there quite frequently. home depots great u dont even need to show receipt when doing exhanges are funds jus give them the credit card u used and they can look it up. if u paid cash then sol lol

That is the one I have and I can confidently second this recommendation.

Just to verify, the 370Z battery is the same battery in the G37 coupe right? Should drop right in and work? Dealership is charging me $200 for a new battery and there's a local guy getting rid of his new battery for $75. Also, what the hell is a battery tie down and why is my dealership just now letting me know that it's missing? That's another $75.
It took me about 1hour because it was the 1st time I do it for this car. No issues.
Cost me less than $80 and came with a good Costco warranty.
The new battery has the same physical size and location of electrodes as factory battery, but with greater cranking capacity and it is maintenance free.
