Battery OEM Honda or Duralast

This is really straightforward to do. I replaced mine last September and was concerned about coding or needing to go to the dealer. My 2017 required none of that. Just take the old battery out and put a new one in. You'll have dash lights on afterwards, but all you need to do is turn the wheel all the way to one side and then the other.

I replaced mine in my driveway with a same size AutoZone Duralast Gold. With a coupon, I was out the door for less than $200. The car wintered outdoors at a Vermont ski resort and always started.

I’d take a Honda battery over a Subaru one any day if the week.

It had a Honda battery in my Subaru for years

Honda batteries (at least the normal-sized ones, not so much the little 151R's) are honestly pretty solid.

I JUST replaced my wife's 2013 Beetle battery with a Duralast from Autozone.

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.

Don't do Duralast...they don't last.

I usually run the Duralasts just because AutoZone is everywhere and I usually get it replaced twice before the warranty runs out - Phoenix is brutal on batteries.
