Default What kind of battery should I get?

My battery is running low and I haven't been able to find a general consensus on which battery to buy. Not really running any ICE at the moment. Might add a sub later on but that would be it. Any recommendations???

Thanks,
Phil



PS. Any recommendations on spark plugs as well??

I got my replacement battery at Canadian Tire and it comes with a 9 year warranty. Cost was around $130 with $10 of the cost tripling the 3 year warranty to 9. Feels around the same weight as the OEM in my opinion.

I would stick with the new recalled spark plugs by NGK that are specifically made for our cars. These updated plugs have an 'S' stamp at the end of the code. They are available at the dealer and come in Honda packaging. I was having black smoke out of my exhaust at VTEC with my old plugs. I changed them and noticed that the old tips in the gap were very dirty and shorter than the new set. So my gap was too far out from normal and not ignighting the fuel properly. No problems at all now.
