Several people have recommended the Interstate MT-24F.

It depends on what you need.. a battery with excellent cold crank? a deep cycle battery? etc... Aftermarket radio? too many hids/leds?

OEM battery is best used when it is airborne into the dealer's head.

I forgot to ask, what year is your car?

The OEM batteries have a 4 year unlimited mileage warranty.

I have an 04 TL. I am running HIDs fog, LEDs strip in the headlights, LEDs in the interior, and also to power my motorized hideaway plate. What are my options?

OEM battery didn't last very long for me in the TL... Personally, I've had great luck with the Kirkland signature batteries from Costco... The one in my other car is almost 10 years old, and still going strong....

Optima is what I wanted, Duralast is what I got. Similar cca's and warranty, I could buy two for one Optima.

Best and Reliable should never be in the same sentence as Acura OEM battery unless you word it as such:

What is the best and reliable way to dispose / incinerate / blow up my OEM battery?

Acura should give me some cash back for that OEM battery.

Duralast Gold is what I replaced mine with. I have nothing out of the ordinary on the car, and as someone mentioned its very similar to a much higher priced Optima...solid

Sondinh,

I guess some people just never learn. You've already been warned and banned for not searching before posting. Remember this?

Or how about this?

https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...9&postcount=14

There's a wealth of info in this forum all at your fingertips via a search. Yet you seem to feel the need to clutter up the front page of the main forum with subjects that have been discussed numerous times before.
