Looks like a group 51 battery fits. Pretty common battery that fits Hondas.

Agreed... and congrats on your new toy.

Measure your battery's tray size (WxLxH) and head down to somewhere that they display batteries to pick one out. I don't shop many products at Walmart, excepting batteries. Any battery that will fit in the tray will do fine, so long as the terminal location and voltage match up. A battery with more CCA is a good thing.

I got that group 51 from the research I did. I guy was putting that in his car.

Googling the size, I found this:

BCI Groups 51 and 51R batteries feature physical dimensions of 9.374 x 5.0625 x 8.8125 inches (23.8 x 12.9 x 22.3 cm), or at least very close to these dimensions.

Measure your battery and let us know. Also, if you post a picture of what's written on your battery, like the part number, that can help with the search. Let us know.

By the way, post a picture of your car. We'd love to see it!
