What type of battery's are you guys using in your EG civic's

[Per10d]

hey guys, i'm looknig to get a new batt as mine has shiet itself.
was wondering what battery's are you using and which are best value.

i think i want to get a deep cycle like an odyessy, optima or orbital (or others)
my system drains a bit of power thats why. but as you'se all know the EG civic doesn't really have much room for a decent sized batt.

any ideas or opinions are appreciated!

cheers

go to hannys and get one off rob
cost round $150 $160

but its the one where u dun have to put water in...really good

Anything drycell should be good...... might even save quite a few kg's too......

See another way of doing weight saving that you would never think of :)

geo41e: where abouts is hanny's? do you know any of the specs of the batt? CCA or AH?
SPEEDCORE: Is drycell the ones you don't have to keep filling up?

i've also been looking at optima battery's, they have a new one out that made for honda's, but i duno where optima batts are sold in sydney?

yo..hannys is at smithfield.. number is 97255115 ask for rob. dunno if its a CCA or AH but yeah..its the best of the best..thats why its abit expensive.
but everytime u start..danm feels like the car can run off the batt itself!

hahah sounds good, i'll look into it tomorrow for sure... although 160 is quite cheap for a good quality battery.. if i get an optima i'll be looking at around 270... :)

wit your batterys you have to drive for about 3 hours strait to recharge it i have a shitty old century an cause i drive to coffs harbour allot i can crank my system for well over 6 hours and my car starts first hit

well i ended up getting the optima d51r... will post up pics tonight... but its fits nice and offers alot more power then my last batt.
