Anyway im looking to replace the car battery, so can any of you tell me which is a good brand? I know theres alot of choices out there, but which brand is a good one? Thanks in Advance.

Optima makes good ones, they just came out not too long ago with one specifically for Hondas. I'm planning on getting one when I have the cash

Re: Just got my CRX HF, need opinion tho?

Welcome to AF! Just to let u know before you ask later. You have the base economy version of the crx and you also have the Mult-port fuel injection. Something most 4g civics or crx's want. It's light weight and good. Just thought I let you know!

Optima's are the best. U can tell them apart from others due to their 3 cell on each side look with either black, blue, yellow or red. Depends on what type you get. I'm def. getting one here soon too!

SWEET I knew there was something special with this car...lol So Optima is a really good one, and it seems the red one is for cars, i went to the optima website I also e-mailed them about what kind of battery is ideal for a 91 CRX. Ill post up their reply if they do reply that is?

P.s. Shaguar47 thanks for the insight on my CRX

Re: Just got my CRX HF, need opinion tho?

and if you don't feel like spending 100+ bucks on a battery, just go to sears and get a diehard... that way if it does die on you, you don't have to have the reciept to return it, just take it back to sears and you'll get a new one... for like 2 years i think... and what he left out is that you have 62 hp but should be able to get well over 40 mpg, however that car is great for a swap due to the fact that it is so light... and welcome to the boards

Yep optima is the best choice but what jeef said isn't bad at all either.

Optimas are great!! I know some have lifetime warr. on them. so if it dies or you just wanna get a new one, you can tak it to any place the sells optimas and trade it in .

you don't have to worry about an optima battery ever going bad...unless there's a freak accident or something.
