yeah, you've gotta start the car every now and again while it's in storage... especially with the puny batteries that Civics have.

I believe either one would be good quality... I'd probably choose the cheaper of the two.

You're wrong.

I've seen the Eliminator in Civics before.

Get a Panasonic OEM battery... Nothing nicer than OEM

Otherwise, get an Optima.

If you are really in a pinch with $, then get a WalMart one...there are only a few companies that actually make batteries, so they are all okay quality.

BUY A HONDA BATTERY, IT IS ABOUT 10-20 DOLLARS MORE EXPENSIVE BUT YOU WON'T REGRET IT, DONT' BUY SOME **** MOTOMASTER ******* **** IT WON'T LAST AS LONG AS THE HONDA ONE

60 month warranty
