EDIT:

Question:

All the shops i've called tell me the largest/most powerful battery I can fit in my accord is group 51R:

(EXAMPLE)

It doesn't look like I have alot of choices seeing that these are very "SLIM" batterys

What brands are best in your opinion.

What specs should I be looking at when searching for a starter battery

Mind you I don't have time to order something so I want to base this off something I can purchase at the local SEARS, Kragen, ETC.

a deka from a local store will be WAY more expensive then the diehard, and not that much better. an XS on the other hand, will be better and more expensive. but good luck finding one local.
