Bringing this back. My car had troubles cranking this morning. The time for a battery is here. I was planning on going back to Honda but they are expensive. Any particular reasons to not grab a Duralast from Autozone, or a battery from any parts store besides Honda?

Now is the time to re-evaluate your battery purchase. There are many different typs out there. Yours appears to be the original so it's time for a replacement. I just replaced mine, after doing a bunch of research, to an Optima Yellow Top D51 Sealed Automotive Deep Cycle Performance Battery . Do a google on it and compare. Twice to three times the cost of most, however, ten times the value. Do a google on it and compare.

For those starting in cold weather a switch to 5w-30 might be in order

Checked it out. Seems to be a good battery. I take it your satisfied?
I am.. but...I know I got what I paid for - that's for sure based on the research I've done on this battery however... 1) I was not looking for the weight reduction 2) I don't need cold crank power as I don't drive the car in winter 3) I don't need quick charge ability as I've needed 1 jump in 7 years 4) I don't need the cool factor.
So.. Why did I buy this battery... because I can
Seriously.. This is an awesome battery, but for 1/2 the price you can get something that will work very much the same.
