depends what use your car for.
do u plan on driving it in cold/winter temperatures?
do u runn a lot of thing on ur car that would rob amps? (ie . large complicated audio set up or 1000 guages and other monitoring devices etc)

in my car ( non winter driven , with not real need for a large amp output) i have a OCV of 13.1 volts and 450CCA / 575MCA

i have a full size optima red top battery in my car. It just squeezes in there haha.

[Prophetic]

^ grab a red or yellow top optima and it'll slide in their pretty much perfectly. Changing the connectors is a cinch too.

[FastPAt]

Theres like many different types to choose from.
Is there any part numbers I can look at?

[Supraclean]

Honestly i just took a tape measure with me to Costco, after I measured the spot in the car. If it didnt fit you have the your reciet and take it back.

[Boyscout]

you may have to change the terminal connectors on the car as the Jap batteries have smaller diameter terminals than the ones sold here

[geng]

yeah when i swaped my rb into my s chassis i had to switch to a larger female connector

any civic battery fits fine.

[king_cobra]

any civic battery fits fine.

this is correct. also any integra battery.

anyone know where to buy new JDM batteries in Canada? (besides interstate)

[FastPAt]

Yea i got a Civic battery. Anyone have any tips on how to poperly seat it? Other than like a rubber strap lol?

[tyler33]

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. What's a good way to strap down a bigger battery in there?

[m_melen]

i just went in to autozone and asked for their most narrow battery with a decent cranking amp, came out with a good battery for 90 bucks. just remember you'll have to switch the terminal clamps, since the terminals on the midget batteries are a lot smaller than most you can get.

[BrianV8]

i used the factory tie down with no problems at all

[FastPAt]

I didnt need to change the terinals at all. Just bent them open, shoved a screw driver in teh holes where the bolts were and bent it over the connectors haha. Bought some random bolts at home depot and clamped those stuckers down. The only problem was anchoring it. Had to use 4 small bungie cords, but it worked out well and it's not moving.
