Battery OEM Honda or Duralast
Recently installed the Duralast Platinum. One week in and everything is working like a new battery should be.
Pros: working as expected, good performance
I drove over to Autozone and asked to borrow their battery/alternator scanner. CC amperage was way down, so just threw a new battery in there, and all is good. Ended up costing $230 even with tax, and $22 core charge credit for their Duralast with a 3 year warranty.
Pros: new battery, all good
Cons: CC amperage way down

Just a heads up I had same issue with my Titan and it was the battery. I purchased a cheaper battery and 6 months in I get only a click when trying to start truck. Sometimes would start sometimes not. Then I bought the same battery again to see if that would fix the issue. This time it didn\u2019t start at all with the same type of battery, tested 100% charge and 100% battery life. So I said let me try buying a better quality battery just to see if anything happens, sure enough the truck started. It has kept starting ever since.
Pros: truck started, issue fixed
Cons: cheaper battery failed

Duralast is a decent brand, I’ve always went with the gold, no real reason just that it’s what was in the car before.
Pros: decent brand
my 2010 4x4 needs a new battery. This one lasted 4 years Duralast Gold.
Pros: lasted 4 years
I usually get a Duralast Gold from pepboys. Not the cheapest model, but not the super premium one either. Most CCA.
Pros: most CCA

Last December, the OEM battery died and I replaced it with a new Duralast battery from AutoZone. Fast forward to today, the car wouldn’t start at all. Had to jump it just to get it running and drove straight to AutoZone to get it tested.
Cons: car wouldn’t start

And the super small battery…

Battery on my '22 HRV Sport died within the first year of owning the car. Honda agreed it was defective.
Pros: Honda agreed defective
Cons: died within one year

I have two Honda City and the first one had the battery changed after the first year, I knew this wasn't normal and Honda insisted that's perfectly normal.
It all boils down to the idling stop feature, to allow that feature these cars use a specific type of battery, but even then the idling stop completely destroys the battery, on top of being useless.
Cons: idling stop destroys battery

Honda City
