With the 2.3L four-cylinder engine, the 2002 Honda Accord uses a group size 35 sealed lead-acid battery. The V6-equipped models need the group size 24 sealed battery instead. Absorbent glass mat (AGM) and Optima batteries are also an option.

Newer Honda Accords, like this 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid use an OPTIMA H6 YELLOWTOP, but that isn’t the case for every Honda Accord. For example, the same year Honda Accord with a 1.5-liter engine uses an H5 battery.

Battery Type: AGM. Cold Cranking Amperage: 925.

The typical battery rating for a Honda four cylinder is probably less than 700 “cold cranking amps” (CCA). The CCA represents the maximum output current in amperes a 12V battery will produce while cranking the cold engine.

Well, that depends on what size car battery your Honda needs. However, many Hondas use a Group 51 battery, including the Honda Civic Type-R, which uses a Group D51R YELLOWTOP battery, which we sell for $237.99.

AGM batteries such as Odyssey Performance and Extreme Series batteries not only feature an overall service life of 3-10 years, but they also feature a storage life of two years before requiring a recharge. For a traditional battery, storage life is only as much as 6-12 weeks.
