Anyone know the largest or most CCA battery our civics can take?

[EdwarDallas]

This stock battery (Group 51) is tiny and seems weak.

I know sooner or later the heat here in Texas will kill it dead.

I am trying to figure out a direction for it's eventual replacement....

I was just barely able to fit a

Optima Red Top Battery, Group Size 34/78, 800 CCA

I went from H5 to H6 AGM. A little snug but it fits. A few posts down on page 3

Kill list so far on this car

Stock plugs
Engine, the whole engine. Snapped a rod.
Catalytic converter
Battery, bad cell.

Ouch. Is it covered by warranty? Still a hassle to drop the car off that’s for sure. Good luck.

For replacement battery, I’d get a Bosch AGM or Optima Yellow Top, size 51R as minimum.

Dude killed his warranty after he decided he was going for big power with rod snapping torque.

This engine is capable of crazy numbers for how small it is, but it was built on a budget to be affordable, not with race car parts.

I went with a red top optima. As for warranty, we'll see. There going to try and blame the mods, I'll be arguing how that has anything to do with the alternator

I didn't even try when the motor went, ik that was me.

I read somewhere on this forum you can buy the Canadian parts to go their battery size instead of Group 51. I don't remember which parts you had to buy.

I'd imagine at least the tie down and the two rods.
