Is there any kind of a "performance" batteries available for our cars? I'd like to get something similar to an Optima battery, but those are too big for the civics engine bay. Is there one that they make that is similar to the stock battery size?

 

i think optima came out with a small version battery.Im not sure though. Anyone else seen this?

 

I have no opinion on this matter....I'm just trying to get my post number up.

 

spoooooom

 

:rofl:

:thumbup:

 

i think asiandoood said it best,.."if you care about your post count then you should not be posting on this board" (or he said something along those lines)

anyways,..i think optimum did make a smaller battery,..not sure though

 

Performance in what way!? Particularly, what type of application?

Stack batteries weigh about 30lbs. A racer would want the lightest battery that can still maintain an operation vehicle such as the that Spoon battery and the few others that are out there.
Daily drivers need something reliable and can last long where batteries like Sears' Diehard series excel.
And, car audio enthusiasts desire something else from batteries where they last a bit longer than most batteries in operating audio systems and need to have their engines off (ie. Optima/SVR)

Yes... Because most Optima batteries are so big, Optima does make a battery that fits in the OEM battery space of Civics which has to be specially ordered. Although Optima performs better than SVR, SVR has had a battery available to specially fit Civics.

 

Well said! And didn't you used to have a ton of posts?

Anyway, I have a friend that has an optima in his 4th gen hatch, so they must make a smaller one! his is tiny!

 

That thing must cost a fortune!

 

if u want a bigger battery put one in ur trunk , spoon and optima are to expensive get a battery with a good warranty.
