repl battery for accord lx 01
Hello,
Recently went in for an oil change at 35K. The battery load test failed on my car even though I appear to have no starting problems. My questions: Besides the honda battery (delphi), are there other good replacement batteries? I'm looking at: Everready (by AC delco) $65 Energizer $60 Bosch $79 Diehard $79 (Sears) Is it normal for the battery to fail load test at only 36K? THANK YOU! |

They are the old-fashioned type with 6 individual screw plugs over the cells & they seem to only come on the Nissans imported from Japan. As long as you keep the water up in them, they keep working. |

If the screw plugs are red, I'll bet they're Yuasa. -- TeGGeR® |

If my wife ever leaves the '02 Pathfinder home long enough to get a look at it, I'll see if there's any mfr info on it besides just Nissan. |
