my battery is cooked, it dies on the regular, its time for a new one, i have no clue when it comes to batteries, this is the 1st time im changing it since i bought my car. its seen two motors and is now running my h22, any suggestions on a battery, considering winter is around the corner, or should i just go with a factory battery, im clueless, but i want to replace it today, so let me know guys, thanks!

I would just get a normal one...but some people would rather dish out the extra coin to get the optima gell-type battery

imported_torscot

what are the specs for a normal one, and how much am i looking at?

go to CT tell them what motor you have and they will tell you how many cold cranking amps you need in a batery.

It may be slightly higher since its an h22

imported_mugen_r

get a battery for the h22, should work perfectly fine.

prob looking at 115 or so...not sure call them up

imported_torscot

sounds good, ill grab one tomorow, thanks guys!

prelude battery is bigger and im sure that it wouldnt fit

imported_plzbeleiveit

im sure if you just look up a 2.2l prulude in the book at crappy tire and prush that youll be fine, usually about 80-90 bucks

the normal civic battery 51R has more than enough cranking amps for the h22a that 24F battery isnt gonna fit in the place of the 51R...as long as u get over 500CCA you will be fine with whatever battery u can get to fit in there

A regular civic battery will run an H22 no prob..

I ran my H22 Civic in the winter no problem, and it was parked outside all the time.

I would check all your connections to make sure the alternator is charging the battery properly. Do some voltage tests on the battery when the car is running to make sure it is charging.

A good alternator should output approx 14.5-15 volts when charging.

yeah i grabed a normal battery for the 98 civic, its runs more than 500CCA and the difference is amazing, my car starts with no hesitation what so ever, thanks everyone for the tips!

If you are asking for what type of battery you want, then do so, if you are looking for prices, do some calling or search on the net for them or this thread will be closed.

test your alternator.. don't want to kill another battery.
