Battery OEM Honda or Duralast

Duralast Battery

You need this one, and it takes about 10 minutes to install. Just hop into the front trunk, unbolt the bar from the firewall that braces the battery -- iirc 13mm. Remove the tire inflator and the box (pulls right out), remove the other bolt, unscrew the two terminals (10mm probably), swap batteries. Done.

Pros: easy to install, 10 minutes
Vehicle: Porsche Cayman

Best upgrade I did for my fit was upgrading to a 51r battery. Just the other day I left my interior lights on all night and I didn't notice until I went to work in the morning, but it started up no problem.

Pros: starts up no problem
Vehicle: Honda Fit

Cells in the battery are probably done. Happened to my wife\u2019s accord. Said the battery was fine and wouldn\u2019t charge because she barely drives it since she works from home and recommended we get a battery tender. Come to find out the charge of the battery was fine but the cells were dead which is why it wouldn\u2019t charge. Time for a new battery.

Pros: charge of battery fine
Cons: cells were dead
Vehicle: Honda Accord

Just had a 5yo Napa battery die, put a new Duralast Platinum Elite in there, back to running normal except 2 things: 1/ Random engine fan activation seems to be what killed the previous battery. Still happening.

Pros: back to running normal
Cons: random fan activation, battery died

Drive a 2018 Nissan Rogue, about 80k miles. Have a Duralast Gold battery from Oct 2023, but live in central Texas where I hear batteries don't last as long.
