Replacement Battery '92 Accord Question
Hi, I need to buy a new battery for a 1992 Accord 2dr LX. The original
was replaced with an aftermarket and now the aftermarket is dead. Any advice or particular brand worth buying in batteries? This replacement was an Energizer and fell short of it's five year life span. -thanks. jdc |

Costco has great price on battery, with free replacement on the first
3years. I thinks the price is about $40. They normally last 4-6 years. Best to replace after the 4th year with fresh battery. |

I love Interstate. Pricey, but lasts longer than the 40$ specials

Of course not all JCI batteries are exactly the same, but all are generally quite good. I don't see Interstate listed, but perhaps Interstate asked them to not list them. <http://www.autobatteries.com/brands/index.asp> The advantage of Interstate is that they go to their dealers and pull/replace batteries that have been sitting too long. I believe they recharge them and put them back for sale. Learn how to read the date code and try to get one that hasn't been sitting around too long without a charge. I believe the Honda OEM batteries in the US are made by JCI. I saw one at my local recycling center. |

The best batteries are Optimas. They are also made by Johnson
Controls, but are sealed lead-acid batteries. By far the longest lasting lead-acid battery made. |

Heard they are best battery, but cost twice as much.
Costco also sells some of the Optima batteries. I think they run around $90 |
