2nd battery in 2 years!
#41
I do believe you are correct, so it is 3 years for Honda and 4 for Acura.

I am putting group 24F in my 2012 TSX 4CYL. Group 51R is too small of a battery for that car. I looked parts for V6 and cost for battery box and hold down is around $26 plus cost of new battery. When done I will post pics and cost break down. My car has failed to start once already and once is one too many times.

^ It depends on the climate where people operate the car - In cold regions, the factory honda batteries suck big time. They pretty much don't last and I would not trust them to reliably and consistently start the car at 20 below.
Note that Toyota has a special package for cold climates that includes beefed up battery and alternator (comes standard for certain SUVs sold in Canada). I have been stuck in the cold before with a car not starting and it's really not fun...
If I had the 4 cylinder TSB (or Accord...) I too would upgrade the battery. (Thankfully there is space in there)

i like this idea....a slightly bigger battery for size......I will still go aftermarket when i need to but nice it can be a bigger group with more cca with the v6 tray and such.

The battery on my 2012 TSX died today. Got the car 2 months ago, and records showed Acrua replaced the original battery in 2015. So I guess they last 2-3 years, which sucks because the last time I bought a car battery was in the early 2000s. Drove a used 97 C230 for damn near a decade (2007 to 2015) and never had battery issues, one time even left it parked for 6 weeks while I was on vacation, it still had no problems starting up.

Fyi this stock positive terminal may not like to play nice with the new battery. Mine did not fit snug - Had to replace it.
