Dead battery...
Today I returned to my car after a month in storage. Stupidly, I never disconnected the battery as I was in a rush at the time when I last left it. So, I tried to start it today and the car had no juice whatsoever in the battery. I got a jump and drove around a bit trying to recharge the battery a bit. At the stop lights, the engine was idling so low I was afraid of stalling out so I kept some gas on it in neutral. To make a long story short, I stalled the car in the middle of a huge intersection. The police came and restarted the car and it is safely back, but the battery has no power.
So, I decided on getting a new battery rather than charging the current one. Are the type R batteries special to our model, or can I get any integra battery? What do they run? Thanks.

Re: Dead battery... (Jon7)
The DynaBat Battery is a nice upgrade. It only wieghs 13.5lbs.
Lighten up your street rod or race car! Remove the 40 lb battery and replace it with Performance Distributors 13.5 lb Dyna-Batt. The Dyna-Batt is built with extremely low internal resistance which leads to faster, more consistant starting. The Dyna-Batt is completely dry cell and can withstand the rigors of high performance and racing enviornments. It is built with corrosion resistant terminals and is truly maintenance free. The Dyna Batt has an excellent storage life and recharges very quickly

Re: Dead battery... (Jon7)
works great! It was 20+ lbs lighter than the stock. Anything that can lighten the car is a good thing.

Re: Dead battery... (Jon7)
My battery was low as hell after not using the car for prolonged periods ...
Just charge it for a couple hours, it should be fine.
If you insist on buying a new battery, they shouldn't be more than (79.95) 80 bucks from the local dealer.

Re: Dead battery... (t)
That would make the stock battery 43.5lbs (13.5 dyna batt + 20lbs) There is no way the stock battery is even close to 40+ lbs.
Well 13.5 + 20 = 33.5 lbs not 40+ lbs.

boba-
do you think you could run that battery with a 550 watt sound system. i might be getting a new battery soon and this one might be an option.

How long can you get by by recharging it everytime you let it get low? Since I only track mine now, it gets real low between drives and I have to charge it about everytime and it starts making this bubbling noise when near full. I check on it every 1/2 hour or so when charging so I can disconnect it right when the bubbling starts so it doesn't blow. I'd hate to buy a new battery just to kill it by letting it run down all the time.

H-series batteries are a little beefier than a B-series battery. Just get another one through your dealer, or even check and see if you can warranty the battery through them. The battery has a warranty on it just like everything else on the car.

Disconnect the Negative Terminal when the car is not in use.
