Continental 58-P Performance 12V SLI Battery
Advantage Batteries supplies the Continental 58-P Performance as a factory-activated 12-volt SLI (Starting, Lighting, Ignition) replacement for vehicles that specify BCI Group 58. This is a flooded lead-acid automotive starter, not a deep-cycle or AGM pack. It is sold for cranking duty: 400 SAE cold cranking amps, 650 SAE cranking amps, and 70 minutes of reserve capacity in a Group 58 top-post case.
Use this SKU when the application calls for Group 58, 12 volts, and flooded SLI chemistry. Confirm group size, tray dimensions, post layout, and cable reach before purchase. Group 58 is not a substitute for Group 35, 51, 58R, or 59. If the vehicle lists a different BCI group, this unit will not be a correct fit.
Shop the Continental 58-P online or pick it up at a qualifying Advantage Batteries location.

Warranty
Continental backs the 58-P Performance with an 18-month manufacturer warranty. That term is the one published on the Continental 58-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 58 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 58 on the existing battery or in the vehicle’s battery spec. Do not substitute a Group 35 or Group 51 because the footprint looks similar.
- Confirm top-post SAE Type A cables. This data sheet does not list side terminals.
- Measure the tray against 9.05 × 7.18 × 7.00 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.
