Got a question.......98 Civic, that i need a new battery for, cause the factory is just not cutting it anymore.....i know about the red tops and all, and the 16 volt battery for car audio.....but does anyone know anything else, that does NOT have to be modified to fit into that little slot in the civic's....and if so, anyone got any good sites or places to get some good deals on them??? Thanx

I have a 96 civic, and I believe we may have the same battery type. It's a pretty small space isn't it! I have about 900watts pull overall and my Bosch Silver can take that quite happily. It fit first time with no mods. Optima do make a yellow top battery that will fit the civic which if memory serves is the 51D model.
Good luck

bot are great i like the yellow top deep cycle because it can handle a deep discharge without hurting the battery.

All I can say is the battery's suck in this car. I know first hand. The best bet would be to upgrade to a 165 amp alternator....just go big, they are a pain to change! and If you are really looking at a battery try one of these out https://www.kinetikaudio.com/hc800.asp
these work great, and would use one over a yellow top any day
