Battery Energizer or OEM Honda

Having ran both Duracell procell, and Energizer lithiums in RMR's, the energizers last 3+ years. I've gotten 2-2.5 years out of Duracell.

Funny enough I also have an 18 Elantra and had my battery replaced recently from Costco. What I got was a:

- H6-AGM

- 760/120/70 cold crank amps/reserve capacity/amp hours respectively

Recently i was able to acquire some Japanese Energizer 2300 and 800mAh AA and AAA batteries...from my experience with the Energizers so far they are much much better then any other NiMH battery I've ever used including the Chinese Panasonic NiMH batteries.

I have the Energizer battery in mine. It's worked perfectly so far. The included posts are plug and play with the i3 terminals.

So now I will only use Energizer and Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop bateries I use these rechargable ones in more expensive devices as they do not leek but have had great success with energizer and their max alkaline bateries both stored and in devices and none have leaked.

Currently, a bit over 3 grand (labour included), at least for the Civic/Accord Hybrids.

The stock battery in my 2016 Honda died after four years.

It's not only Energizer, its also whatever cheap brand I have. Might be a law, I think.

I do hate them, either cutting your fingers or have the cell fly out like a chemical saucer.

Battery on my '22 HRV Sport died within the first year of owning the car. Honda agreed it was defective.

I have two Honda City and the first one had the battery changed after the first year, I knew this wasn't normal and Honda insisted that's perfectly normal.

It all boils down to the idling stop feature, to allow that feature these cars use a specific type of battery, but even then the idling stop completely destroys the battery, on top of being useless.
