honda battery is dead.. what battery should I purchase
I was told that my car needs atleast 410 cca (cold cranking amps) but as I mod my car more the autozone rep said I would need a battery that provides more.
So which brand should I go with? and what is a decent price for a new battery.
I believe she offered me a duralast with 500~ cca for 60$.. but I just jumped my car and decided to come home and do some research first.

are all optima batteries sealed? so you can run them in a non sealed box in the back without worrying about breathing in toxic fumes?

Not sure why that would be, unless you increase the CR, which I can't imagine an Autozone rep. anticipating. Even then, I don't think you would necessarily need a higher-capacity battery.

What attributes are you specifically looking for in the battery? Do you simply want a stock replacement, or do you want something more specialized (e.g. light-weight, sealed, inexpensive, etc.)? The emphasis you place on different attributes will obviously determine which battery will best suit you. A "decent price" varies greatly depending on the particular battery.

Re: honda battery is dead.. what battery should I purchase (kendogg)
Just go to Wally Mart and look it up with the machine there. It'll cost you like $35. There's no magic to a Die Hard battery. It's lead and acid for god's sake. Optima batteries recirculate the gasses back through the liquid. Optimas can explode just like any other battery though.
I purchased a gel cell battery for $25 with 1000 CCA from a battery dealer. It was for a computer UPS that got changed out. They put round terminals on it. It's not for my Teggie though.

Why go with SVR battery? Anything in particular? About to buy new battery too, so was wondering which would be better.

I picked this battery because the Optima was not going to fit and I did not want to relocate to my trunk. I also had it left over from my old Civic so that was a plus

For 1/3 the price you can get a hawker genesis battery thats the same weight. Its not "tizzite jdm y0" but if you want a 13lb battery thats your best bet.

fyi, the generic one at Sears = the same batteries at Walmart & Costco... I found it to be cheapest at Costco.
