I should say all models except for the Hybrid.
I wanted to change my battery before winter. I tried Costco and Canadian Tire group 35 batteries, but my stock battery hold downs wouldn't fit. I didn't want to bother buying a bunch of extra parts to make it fit, So I figured I'll just buy it from Honda.
To my surprise they upgraded the batteries. OEM (31500-TBA-A01) used to be 550 CCA. Now (31500-TBA-H650) it's 650 CCA. The battery was built 7/19, so it's fairly new.
Check out under Civic 2016 - 2018. Group 47, 650 CCA, 800 CA, 100 RC.
Old vs New.
So, if you want to change your battery before winter get the new part number.
One question I had.. Maybe @charleswrivers can answer.. it came with a 90 degree elbow vent and a vent plug. Do I need to install this or can I just leave it alone? I only saw one vent and it's there on the top near the handle, but it was already blocked.
