Anyone know any good batteries for an EK? Preferably cheap ones! I know there is Interstate and Optima, any other good ones?

imported_Thrill_House

Optimas are not cheap my friend, interstates arent that cheap either in my experience.

imported_Mikeye

Yeah i know optima, interstate and stinger are the more expensive ones.

I was asking if there are any other good ones that arent that expensive.

You could try the MotoMaster 72mth or Eliminator.
They are made by Exide.
All the others sold at CT are crap.
There is also a second line Interstate battery as well. Can't remember the name right now. ??Cana-Tron?? or something

i bought mine at walmart, a very nice little energizer one no complaints here

imported_Thrill_House

BTW all of canadian tires batteries are made by excide, and so are interstate.

sohcnotec

You mean Interstate batteries are made by Exide as well??

optima's are worth every penny... i had light dimming before i put mine in..i relocated batery to the rear and put an optima.. nothing at all.. very sweet.. good on start ups too

i bought me a energizer from wal mart and got a 6 year warranty, all for around 74 bucks after tax.

imported_Thrill_House

Yes, and in actualality there are only a handfull of battery companys in the world, they just get produced under alot of names.

imported_Mikeye

How much cold cranking amps you get from the energizer? I know that interstate and optima offer 500 CCA for civics.

Gunmetalef

my optima is 1000 CCA

^^^^ but u r not using a 51r yellow top lol. the best thing to do is relocate your battery to the back and use a bigger red top optima. i have a energizer as a back up and when i use it, i have no complaints with it at all can;t beat the price. motomaster 72 sucks *** and is not worth $5 as a scrap battery. i use a 51r yellow top optima right now and its ok i guess but i will be relocating my battery to the back soon and switching to a red top. working for a battery company has benefits.

mmmmm Optima yellow top mmmmmm <lol>

Of couse that would be ideal; but hey how about another stock Honda battery? Like $90 and will be better than an regular crappy tire battery!!!!!

Remmeber; you get what you pay for!

Gunmetalef

ye b16.. your right its a size 35? red top.. its in my trunk.. worth the install..

imported_viper_2_4

same here...no problems with the energizer one...
