Civic Owners: What kind of battery are you using?

[XaznKewLguyX 10+ year member]

I just got a civic and the battery is tiny compared to the one in my accord. I don't think they make yellowtops that small and I dont want to make any custom adjustments to the car.

What kind of battery will fit perfectly into the stock place on a 99 civic?

Also anyone know how many amps the stock civic alternator is? I notice my lights dim when i roll down my windows already //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif

The batteries in accords are much larger than the ones in civics and integras.

I forget what group they are, ive got one from my moms accord in my garage.

looks like a d51

9 5/16"

5 1/16"

8 15/16"

i do believe a kinetik 1400 would work and there be a yellow topper that fits it too

1400 has 19 aH more capacity though
