What do you guys recommend for a new battery? I have a system in my car and the lights dim a tad, but not nearly as much now that I upgraded the 3 electric grounds, anyways, people say those optima batteries are really good for car stereos but i hear lots of mixed reviews, so if anyone has any experience with a decent battery that will last let me know please links to autozone or websites would be nice, I want to replace battery before winter sets in.

Thanks,
Dustin

optima is a terrible battery for any car. stick with lead acid. if you want stock size that will fit in the tray and side holders, its a group51 size. i think the biggest they make has 500 cca which is better that the stock 420. thats what i use and the honda dealer carries them too. you can always go bigger too if you want to do custom install and get a new tiedown and box.

Alright, It sucks because there isn't a honda dealer around here , I got my vic from a hyundai dealer, Lmao. I wouldn't mind going bigger, what brands you recommend for the group 51.

mine is autocraft from advance auto, im sure other stores have similar upgrades. just look for group51 size and check the CCA rating. try and get one thats 500.

i also have the advance auto battery and have been happy with it. i've stayed away from Optima's based on user experience.
