I'm trying to find a battery to use on my 2006 Acura RL. I don't want a battery that won't fit flush with the terminals and the plastic? Anyone know a good battery that I can use? The battery I have currently is a no name battery that I can't even read off of. I'd appreciate any suggestion or help Thanks!

How much did you pay for the Duralast Gold? Looks very good on paper.

Did the terminals fit on the Durlast OK? I remember people saying that finding a battery that would allow the terminals to ft was hard, as the fill caps for the cells get in the way on most batteries.

Yeah i want to know about this as well.. I need to get a new battery soon. I keep jumping my car every 2 months lol. The battery costs about 110 in nyc from autozone.

If not Duralast gold, what other battery will fit perfectly with the RL? Because the OEM.


Thanks for future replies

LOL hows that holding up?

Don't think the dealer will replace it for free. it's a 2007 RL. Bought it used from my friend's brother. I think i read from the other posts that it's a 4 year warranty?

It's still the oem battery and i'm planning a road trip soon lol.

Wondering if the Duralast Gold will fit like the OEM battery so i won't need to use a spacer or any modifications.

Thanks

i bought a group 25 red top and it seems too small...any help here???

Did you put the spacer on the bottom of the battery? (The one that came with the battery).

yea i got it in and it works great, but there still seems like some space behind it. maybe an inch at most, but the bar holding it down has it pretty secure
