battery size

[sobaz]

hi guys, can anyone tell me is there any reason why honda wants such a large battery for prelude vtir,1997..onwards..thx

[curtis265]

it needs more current to start

it needs to power all the electrical features in the car while it's off..

they doesn't want it to go flat as easily as it would in a civic

Older large Hondas had bigger batteries. Same for CB and CD Accord.

needs lots of CCA's - Cold Cranking amps....

if u want a smaller battery you can get them but batterys that are small with the required cca get very expensive, search"optima batterys"
