Default Best Battery?

The last few days, my car has been making this clicking noise when I start it. Yesterday it wouldn't start at all the first several times I tried it. Wouldn't even turn over. This is a battery issue, right? Any reccomendations on which one is best?

Personal experience says-go directly to your Sears and have them test your battery. If it is indeed bad buy a Die-Hard and be done with it. They do last as long as the warranty (and generally no longer). In the many years I've had cars (@0+) I have never had a bad experience with them in stock or race prepped cars. Do make sure that the charging system (alternator) is also OK. Another , but less likely, possibility could be either the starter relay or Main relay-but test the system first. BTW: base battery voltage on all 3 of my Hondas is 12.7 and with the engine running the alternator is putting out 14.1-14.3 volts. These are considered normal values.

I used to get that sound from my integra, it would make a clicking sound. Finally it just stopped and wouldnt do anything. And it was my starter. Once i replaced that i was good to go! so u might wanna think about that
