I'm planning on getting a 2008 or newer Accord EX-L V6 coupe in the future. I'm wondering about the batteries that will fit in the V6 models. I see a 24 series battery is standard, but I also see mention of a 35 series as well. Will any 35 series battery work in the V6 car? I've read the size charts and they seem very close in size between the two, with the 35 being slightly smaller. Will that be an issue? I have an AGM 35 series battery here I'd like to use in it, but don't know if it will physically fit in the car or wire up. What are people using in theirs? Also are the positive terminal posts on the same side between 24 and 35?


I've seen posts in regards to battery draining issues on the V6 cars, and the common fix is to use a battery with a minimum of 500 cranking amps and to replace the A/C relay. Does this help or will there still be draining issues afterwards?

 

24F is used in the V6. Same terminal orientation as group 35.

A used 35 will work until it doesn't.
