When I last browsed battery selections via Johnson Control's site, the Honda battery had about the same capacity as any other brand - for the same size. Things like CCA are determined more by size than brand name......i heard that the duralast or really any battery has to be better then this dinky one.
Wow!!! That would make a great commercial for Interstate batteries!!!My Si is still working on the same Interstate battery I put in it back in 2000.
Same size as the one in the Element.
This thing has seen 4 North Dakota winters, one year overseas in Portugal, spent a year in storage not hooked up to anything, 3 years in Hawaii, and is now back in North Dakota, still in the Si.
Cranks a bit slower than it originally did, but what do you expect out of a 9 year old battery. When this one finally dies I'm going back to Interstate. I'm sold.
See my post above.The highest capacity I've found so far in the 51R size is the Duralast- Napa Gold battery at 625/500 amps. 8 year warranty 3 year replacement.
We get medium nasty weather here in winter and I need dependable starting which the oem battery didn't give.
I'm glad I replaced my E's original battery with an Interstate battery recently. I couldn't even listen to the radio without the engine running for very long without it dying. Now I have no problems cranking up after charging various devices & listening to the radio for hours. Hopefully last many years.My Si is still working on the same Interstate battery I put in it back in 2000.

You're right! I decided to google the duralast gold and found a few people having problems. Now lemme see if there's anywhere around here that still sells interstate batteries.See my post above.
We get NASTY NASTY winters here and I never had a problem.
Granted, the Portugal and Hawaii winters weren't even remotely bad.![]()
Here you go.Now lemme see if there's anywhere around here that still sells interstate batteries.
Out of curiousity, I Googled Duralast and found mostly praise for the battery, except for the occasional, complain about anything, blog. I don't think it's possible to Google anything without finding negativity.You're right! I decided to google the duralast gold and found a few people having problems.
