Car battery options.

Post by nitin_s1 » Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:46 pm

I need a car battery as my one is completely drained. I jump started it but it wouldn't hold the charge any more. :? :(

I have two options,

1. I can buy the OEM battery from LingsHondaparts.com for £75.00.

2. Go for the lightweight battery on eBay (around £60ish). Good thing, it's weight saving. Bad thing, I don;t use the car often so it may get fooked even more then an OEM battery. :?

What do you guys think?

:idea: :idea:

Can't comment on the battery itself that you should buy as I've never bought one for a Honda. Bought a cheap one for my Scirocco though, so far so good :?

As for your battery getting mullered, see here matey as I share your pain:

A little less link for Nitin, a little more 'touch me'

That ebay special lightweight battery has been good, ive had the car sat unused for a couple singular weeks at a time and its cranked the car over no problem, though I do have a battery cut off switch so it doesn't discharge...
