Honda Accords have a reputation for lasting a very long time, so it's no surprise to us that you're looking for information on a replacement battery for a Honda Accord that is more than 20 years old! The good news is OPTIMA Batteries has direct-fit battery upgrades for your Honda Accord, but you need to know which battery you need for your Accord, because there are a couple different options, based on the engine in your car.
The 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine uses a relatively small D51R YELLOWTOP, while the larger 3.0-liter V6 in either Hybrid or regular forms will use a larger Group 35 battery, which OPTIMA offers in either a REDTOP or YELLOWTOP. So which battery is right for your Accord? If your Honda is relatively stock, the REDTOP will work great. However, if you have significant electrical modifications, which could include a car alarm, dash cam or aftermarket stereo system, we'd recommend the YELLOWTOP, which is designed for both starting and deep-cycle use.
The free replacement warranty on YELLOWTOPs and REDTOPs is three years, with no proration fees. However, if you purchase your battery directly from us and buy an OPTIMA 1200 series battery charger at the same time, we'll add an additional year of free replacement warranty coverage to your battery! Even if you don't buy or use one of our chargers, the best thing you can do to maximize the performance and lifespan of your OPTIMA battery is to keep it fully charged (~12.6-12.8V for REDTOPs & ~13.0-13.2V for YELLOWTOPs) whenever possible.
