I am a first time honda owner, and purchased a Fit about 4 months ago. Ive managed to work through the valve adjustment (with help from a thread here) and am currently in need of a new battery(seperate problem)
Its an 08 GD with an auto trans(if that matters) NOT sport model.
The cheapest Ive been able to find one locally is about 200$ after the core refund. That seems kind of out of line to me considering theres only like 340-370CCA and other batteries in the 500-600 range are like $90.
Obviously bc of the size and space available my options are going to be limited.
Has anyone found a battery outside of the 151R group size that will fit in here so I can try and find a cheaper one without being a pest at the parts store by asking them to measure a bunch of different batteries? Or do they just have us bent over here? Lol
Thanks in advance!

 

I personally went with a Duralast 121R-DL, with 550CCA. As far as am concerned the stock battery is too small, and probably expensive because no one else uses it.

The 121R-DL fits the physical space full,, but had to make an extension for the tray to get the holding bracket have something to hook to..

My next battery would be Lithium, which offers more power for less size and a lot, lot less weight, although have not researched which one yet, as the 121R-DL is still going.

,,,,this was at least three years ago, and don't remember what I paid for the 121R-DL. To me price was not an issue, but to get more cranking amps was.. The lithium battery would be more expensive yet, but that is the future, until the switch to full electric vehicles...............if planet Earth lives that long.
