Car battery questions

Can I put a higher crankin car battery in my 2013 acura tl shawd since the stock battery sucks. I mean I only got 3 years out of the stock battery really. They replaced it for free at the dealership because I have under 50k with another stock battery I'll take this for now free is free but for my next battery what do you guys suggest.

Nothing is going to blow up with a higher CCA battery. I'm personally a fan of Optima - Red Top would be the variant you want for starting.

Heck ya go with the CCA, I replaced the factory battery. I put in Interstate Megatron Plus MTP-24F 1000amps/800CCA.

Same here. They have a 5 year warranty for the duralast gold batteries. It's been almost 3 years and no issues for me.

Anicra got the right battery. The Interstate Megatron Plus MTP-24F 1000amps/800CCA. Since the cell caps are not flush mounted on this battery (like the original), I had to modify the plastic battery cover a little. But it is the strongest one you can get that fits on the battery shelf.
