Continental 124R-P Performance 12V SLI Battery
Advantage Batteries supplies the Continental 124R-P Performance as a factory-activated 12-volt SLI (Starting, Lighting, Ignition) replacement for vehicles that specify BCI Group 124R. This is a flooded lead-acid automotive starter, not a deep-cycle or AGM pack. It is sold for cranking duty: 600 cold cranking amps into a Group 124R case so the battery seats in the OEM tray without spacers or a group-size change.
Use this SKU when the application calls for Group 124R, 12 volts, and flooded SLI chemistry. Confirm group size, tray dimensions, and cable reach before purchase. If the vehicle lists a different BCI group, this unit will not be a correct fit.

Warranty
Continental backs the 124R-P Performance with an 18-month manufacturer warranty. That term is the one published on the Continental 124R-P product page. It is not a 24-month Supreme-line term and not an Advantage Batteries house warranty unless stated separately at checkout.
Warranty coverage follows the manufacturer’s policy: defects in materials and workmanship for the published period when the battery is used as an automotive SLI unit in a matching Group 124R application. Abuse, deep discharge, incorrect group size, or use outside SLI duty typically voids coverage. Keep the purchase record. File a claim through Advantage Batteries or Continental per the policy in effect at sale.
Fitment and install notes
- Match BCI Group 124R on the existing battery or in the vehicle’s battery spec. Group 124 and Group 124R are not interchangeable if polarity or post layout differs.
- Measure the tray against 10.38 × 7.00 × 8.62 in before ordering.
- This is a flooded battery. Keep it upright. Do not mount on its side.
- Factory-activated means it ships wet and charged for install; still verify open-circuit voltage and charge if it has sat.
- After install, seat the hold-down and confirm cable polarity before the first start.
