Duralast has been fine in my car for the last few months. I agree, we killed off an optima yellow top in just a year under not-too-abusive circumstances.

Also keep "BatCap" in mind, but I'm sure it's out of your price range as you seem to need an emergency swap. :-)

Interstate was or is the OEM battery maker for Hondas. Available at Firestone, many import shops, and often the dealer. Last time I checked, my dealer (whom I normally shun) had a very good price on Interstates.
