carputer Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 The battery holder is really small and i doubt it would fit, has anyone ever modifed the battery / car to be able to fit a REGULAR optima (not the really expensive sports car edition(51 i think) of the optima) into my civic? Is this a good buy? My original battery just died (1999-2006, im going to miss it) and i need a replacement and i think the optima deep cycle(yellowtop) is good... Will the original alternator supply the battery? Ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Dont see why it wouldnt fit, if it doesnt just relocate it, Optimas dont need battery boxes. If you can afford it go for it. Are you really going to miss your old battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carputer Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 I dont think I will Just one question though, even if I do relocate it, will the alternator supply enough power to charge it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sohcVTEC-E Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Ya people relocate batteries all the time. I'm thinking about doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carputer Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Why wouldnt it? Well i went to buy the battery yesterday and the dumbass that wanted to sell it to me said not to buy it because my alternator wouldnt be able to charge it if I kill it all the time, he said optimas are harder to charge than a regular battery? i didnt believe him, and still dont, but, could it be a possibility? BTW he told me to buy a cap instead of an optima... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
