Look batteries have existed for a long time. There are 2 things that are important about a battery.

CCA (cold cranking amps) and size

Your battery has 900 CCAs so getting one with a minimum of 900 CCAs is needed. More is fine and generally help your battery last longer.

Size is self explanatory.

Batteries are a you get what you pay for thing. Quality is what you should focus on.

This AGM Duracell is very close to what you have - 92Ah. 48 Month Warranty. Be sure to check the Battery Group Type dimensions versus what you currently have. This Duracell Ultra Premium AGM is Group 49 dimensions.

Costco for batteries, always. The reason is two-fold: they are a cost effective solution. Price wise they may not be the absolute cheapest, but they're pretty competitive. Secondly, they carry a fairly long warranty that when used, resets when a new battery is needed. Say for example you're in year 5 of a 7 year warranty and the battery dies. You return the purchased battery, buy a new one, and get a new 7 year warranty. This is how they work in Canada, US may be different. Also in Canada, never buy a battery from Canadian Tire. They're line of batteries are complete crap, including powersport batteries.

You simply can't go wrong with the Odyssey. And if you get it from FCP, you'll never have to pay for one ever again!

What's the warranty then? Can't you buy a new one unconditionally? Also, isn't it obvious that a new item gets a new full warranty (it's like a product warranty, not a subscription to a service)?
