Need new battery

I have a 2006 TL and need a new battery and I'm no where near an Acura dealership. Money isn't much of an issue so what would be a good aftermarket replacement battery? Thanks!

Do NOT get a battery from the Acura or Honda dealership-- it's just a branded, more expensive, less durable, lower cranking capacity battery compared to most aftermarkets.

Get an Interstate (many places carry them) or Kirkland (Costco). It'll probably run you less than $130.
There are a few other brands-- Delco, etc. that may be carried by car parts stores, too-- I just haven't had any experience with most of them.
I haven't been happy with the Sears Die-Hards-- the ones I've bought seem to go bad within a few months of the end of warranty, and I prefer that batteries die after the warranties expire.

P.S. Don't get tires from the dealerships either.

Costco is the way to go, cheap and 100 month warranty. I think I paid $80.
