I've searched and searched and searched, and to my dismay I haven't been able to find the answer to my question. I currently own a 2007 Honda Fit Sport (Automatic) w/ a SRI. I've already taken the liberty of attempting to fit in the Honda/Acura 51R Honda Civic battery, but sadly it just wouldn't fit. Are there any options whether it be a SRI or a CAI that'll work with the upgraded 51R?

Your help and pictures would be appreciated.

 

Why would you want a larger heavier battery?

 

you must be new here...


larger capacity and more buffer for batteries that are fairly well known to crap out after relatively short life spans...

 

But aren't there some good lighter, smaller, aftermarket batteries?

 

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...ymi809ISSHFWQA Check out these little jewels... The same as Braile but at a great price and with more choices.

 

I had the same problem with my intake, you can always modify the intake so the 51r will fit. Or you can buy a racing battery, small, light and big bucks! more capacity too, check out odyssey batteries. Theres several brands, but very expensive.

 

Check out the DEKA batteries in the link I posted.. I have one that measures 7.5" high x 9" long x 7"long that has no problem starting my car.... There are batteries for medium size motorcycles or ATVs that will work fine unless you are using every electrical item on your car at maximum output every time you are behind the wheel.

 

^ yeah deka are the hidden secret... they make braille batteries, but like texas said, cheaper!

 

what sri do you have? the fujita and dc sports mounts to the battery tie down, so stock height one will be needed.

k&n doesnt mount to the battery tie down, and it's been fitted with a 51R, thats what MarkyMark has

 

I'm currently running an SRI I made from existing intake piping that I had lying around from my buddies Honda Civic.

The reason why I don't mind running the larger and heavier battery is because this happens to be my daily driver. If it were my Honda Civic, then I might be concerned, but even then, I'm still running the factory battery.
