[Euro] Replacement battery suggestions

[destrukshn]

lol, i can give you the model number if you wish.
but to tell you the truth.. i think.. it uses the same size battery of the civics

I compiled a list of brands, models, and spec. All of them replace our 238x128x220 stock battery.

Brand			Model		CCA(amps)	RC(minutes)	WT(kg)
Exide Evolution		E370C		370		60		12
Century Performance	NS60LS		400		65		11.93
ACDelco Sealed		S55B24LS	430		80			
Supercharge Gold	MF55B24LS	450		80	
Optima Yellowtop	D51R		500		70		11.8

same size as civics and integras and stuff, not a big battery, same size but the posts are different, thier opposite.

Aaron nice table! A couple of changes though - the Euro Supercharge Gold is MF75D23L and the Supercharge Classic is N55D23L - outputs are different to the table for those models.

the MF one is quite big, i don't think that's the euro one?
unless the 06 ones are different, but i'm quite sure it's still the s55b24ls

Maybe the Supercharge catalogue is wrong but it clearly says Accord Euro and the "Classic" and "Gold" are 170/172mm wide respectively.

Edit: I am feeling a bit more optimistic as that same MF battery is stated for use in some of the Preludes, NSX and some similar sized vehicles like the Mazda 6. Different engine bay of course but it is not as if it is for a huge lux car. So maybe it does fit..

to be definate.. i will check for you tomorrow!
lol.
how does that sound?

Cool That would be fantastic as I can guarantee you if I tell my old man to get that particular model and it doesn't fit - he will make me feel guilty for all the inconvenience. hehe

[destrukshn]

hahahaha.
lol, you'll be right, but i'm about 95% sure it;s the s55b24ls

It lists the Euro as having the same size as the EXi and VTi CD4/5 Accords. And I know for sure that the CD Accords use an N70 battery, which is twice the volume of the Euro's battery. So the "Euro" entry in the Supercharge catalog is wrong.

I based the right size off the Odyssey and S2000, which run the same size battery since the Optima's D51R is an exact fit (and correct terminal orientation) in the latest Odyssey, S2000 and Euro.

If you buy another battery you may want to keep it fully charged, considering what has happened to the original. For Fathers day what about buying your dad a terrific little charger that you leave on all the time when it is not being used. It senses when the battery needs a top up charge and goes ahead automatically and charges the battery very slowly. I used it on the Euro when I was away for 5 weeks. Now it does duty charging my Ride On Mower and the back up battery for my tyre pump. It is called a Battery Fighter Junior Model BFJ-012-230 Fully Automatic charging system. It costs about $47.00 from JaCar or possibly Dick Smith's.
