acura battery is so small!

I like to look under the hood and its pretty amazing how small this battery is. It looks like a gocart battery.

How can such a small battery support the car? And for the folks living up north in the winter must be real interesting.

I am used to seeing the big square batteries.

you can always get aftermarket battery, but IMO unnessary. the oem battery gave a few ppl problems, but mine has been fine since day one, as with a lot of other ppl.

Yes the battery is very small and the CCA of only 410 is pretty low. I live up in northern Canada and so far have not had any problems in two winters. But it sure turns over sloooww on really cold days after sitting outside after work.
