Thread: New battery advice

  1. #1

    Default New battery advice

    Time for a new battery for the Ridgeline. Not interested in spending $90 for an OEM replacement since Honda batteries are notoriously crappy. (See first sentence.)

    Looking around I'm reading good things about Kirkland batteries from Costco. For under $70, sounds like a good deal for a good battery. Anyone purchased Kirkland before?

    Any other suggestions for a suitable replacement?

    TIA.

    I bought a Costco one for my truck last year. I did some research and it was one of the better rated batteries.

    I've always had good luck with Duralast batteries from Vatozone. The last one I had lasted 7 years before I decided to replace it started feeling weak.

    Turns out our Costco membership has lapsed since we don't go there enough to warrant the $50 annual fee...

    So now I'm looking at the Duralast Gold at Autozone. $89 and lots of good reviews. And much better specs than OEM.

    What's Wal-Mart got for the Ridgeline? That's where I buy my honda and MPV's batteries.

    Good choice. I have one in each Miata, one is 6-years old and was abused from time to time. I recently left my lights on, twice, in the daily and they still hold a charge.
