Been trying to fit a new battery to my accord as the old one is not holding a great charge.
All the battery guides, eg Yuasas product guude, Halfords Website, and all the other battery-supplier websites say it should have a 075.
I promptly ordered a Yuasa 075, and it doesn't fit. - Too wide to fit the battery tray, and even taking out the battery tray, its too wide to squeeze between the air-filter and headlight, and even if you squeeze the filter housing to one side slightly theres not eonugh room to get the holder-clamp rods down into their holes.
The original battery is Honda branded and seems to be very narrow - approx 120mm-ish depending on where on the casing you measure it.
So what is supposed to fit - I cant believe that I have to buy a genuine Honda battery for this car, there must be a correct battery code for it - clearly the info being given out to all the suppliers is wrong.
it is a 2006 2.4auto EX tourer. has full main-dealer history and is non-modified.
