Group Size 58 Battery: A Reliable Choice for Older Sedans and Compacts in Canada

The Group Size 58 battery may not be as common in today’s newer vehicles, but it still holds an important place for many older GM, Chrysler, and Ford vehicles on the road today. This battery offers a solid balance between compact size, decent cold-start performance, and affordability—making it a great option for drivers looking to keep their car running reliably through Canadian winters.

Specs, Size, and Price in Canada

Group 58 is a 12-volt battery that fits comfortably in small to mid-size vehicles. It typically measures about 10.06 inches long, 7.06 inches wide, and 7.75 inches high—compact enough to work in older engine bays with less clearance.

Common performance specs include:

• Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): 500 to 600

• Cranking Amps (CA): 625 to 750

• Amp-Hour (Ah): 45 to 55Ah

In Canada, a Group 58 battery usually costs between $140 and $210, depending on the brand and warranty. Most options include a 2- to 3-year free replacement warranty, which offers good protection for everyday use.

Vehicles That Use Group 58 Batteries

Group 58 batteries are commonly found in older North American sedans and compacts, such as:

• Chevrolet Cavalier and Malibu (pre-2005)

• Pontiac Grand Am

• Buick Century and Regal

• Ford Escort and Taurus (older models)

• Chrysler Cirrus, Dodge Stratus

These vehicles benefit from the smaller size and lighter weight of the 58, without sacrificing necessary cold weather performance. If you're unsure what your car takes, visit our Car Battery Replacement page or check your owner’s manual.

Battery Life in Canada

A Group 58 battery typically lasts 3 to 5 years in Canadian conditions. Colder provinces and cities with lots of stop-and-go traffic may see shorter lifespans. If your battery is three years old or older, we recommend annual testing—especially before winter hits.
