Oh my, is this really where I should be on the web right now? Yes, yes it is. Here is my story I tell..

Getting ready for this mornings commute for work and everything was as is. I even made a cup of tea to start the morning. My FIT greeted me with some indicators that there may be a failing battery. The key FOB failed to open doors and that left me with opening it up manually. Opening up my FIT, I pushed and held brake and pushed POWER. No indicator of anything.

Propped the hood, got my meter. Read 3.2 Volts. Alas, after 4.5 good years of handling this FIT from 0 miles to 50k some odd miles, my battery has no charge to hold any more! I can take as much time as I need to get this battery out.

Now, I'm researching for a replacement of the OEM with my removed battery sitting upon my dining table. And I'm looking at the OEM 31500-SLN-A01 // 44B19L(S). I want more performance and efficieny, what are my options out there? Thank you in advance.

 

I have a 2017 EX, and dropped in a 51R with no modifications whatsoever. It's probably a good 30% bigger but it fits in the tray perfectly and everything lines up right.
