Battery Deka or OEM Honda
You can get an Deka AUX18L from batterymart.com for $159 shipped to your door. Deka is the OE manufacturer of the BMW battery for the i3. My original battery lasted 7 years, it’s a no-brainer.
Pros: lasted 7 years
Vehicle:
BMW
Part number: AUX18L
I called roadside and got it installed for 100 dollars 3 months ago.
Pros: got it installed
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Best upgrade I did for my fit was upgrading to a 51r battery. Just the other day I left my interior lights on all night and I didn't notice until I went to work in the morning, but it started up no problem.
Pros: starts up no problem
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Cells in the battery are probably done. Happened to my wife\u2019s accord. Said the battery was fine and wouldn\u2019t charge because she barely drives it since she works from home and recommended we get a battery tender. Come to find out the charge of the battery was fine but the cells were dead which is why it wouldn\u2019t charge. Time for a new battery.
Pros: charge of battery fine
Cons: cells were dead
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I\u2019ve jumpstarted my 2019 freightliner from a Honda Accord before.
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I use Deka sealed batteries so less offgassing messing up terminals.
Pros: less offgassing
Cons: messing up terminals
I only use deka on my service rig. Usa made quality. Though listed at 540 CCA, MY Midtronics tester shows they output 650 - 750 CCA.. I easily get 7 years use in the field with these.
Pros: USA made quality, high CCA output, long lifespan
I have gone through two batteries already. They seem to only last 3-4 years on this car - at least in my experience.
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
That happened to me when the battery was dying. The Honda OEM batteries suck.
Cons: batteries suck
I did have to buy a new battery because the OEM was leaking, but other than that, the vehicle has been great.
Cons: leaking
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
