The battery may be okay and the problem may be elsewhere. I dunno I'm having a very hard time reading your sentences for some reason.

i have a hard time reading these sentences also but here's what i think:
It could be a crappy battery OR your alternator could be dying and not fully charging your battery. Before jumping to those things, first check all the connections on the battery and alternator to make sure that is good. Sometimes a loose wire can jack things up and not charge the battery. Those battery warmers are a bunch of poopoo. In the winter here it frequently gets in the negatives and i have no troubles. The tranny fluid and all is thicker but i don't have problems with starting, batteries work just fine without a warmer.
You can take your car to a local autozone, they do free battery testing. That will tell you if your battery is going or if the battery is fine then the alternator isn't doing it's job.

Me too. It's difficult to understand but I'm gonna say get an Optima red top.
Problem solved. The winter really saps the batts.

well, ok, i guess if you want a huge ugly pointless tach on your dash then go ahead.

about the prelude motor in accord video. It will look the same. tehy don't do anything special but drive. It'll look the same as an accord with 200hp accord motor.
