The BEST Winter Mod for 4 Cylinder Accords (Accord V6 Battery Upgrade)

[@nicselectronics81]

Just put a 24f in my 2007 Accord, much better no more starting issues that I had with the smaller one.

[@AndyHiepVu]

I live in Canada and I will definitely change this old battery ! I was having trouble these last 3 years. Thanks man

[@krnvirsingh]

Did you Change it yet?

[@MGBguy72]

Vermonter here. Excellent video! Did the same to my 2006 4cyl. Accord with OEM Honda parts.

[@kumaragurusaravanan2248]

I actually used some parts from a 6th gen v6 Accord sedan like the negative cable and the battery tray from the same car. However I didn't get the group 35 and/or 24f battery because I upgraded my 7th gen Accord battery to an AGM 51R battery. However I did like the split negative cable and battery tray from the v6 Accords from the 6th generation.

[@jason143187]

Wow you did all the stuff now I need you to show me because we have the same car how to do the headliner

[@JohnT2088]

But why does so many people even replace a bigger battery tray for? When i upgrade the OE 51R battery to group 35 battery i did not replace a bigger battery tray but instead still use the original battery tray. Still fits but just a bit tight..

[@itscarlosg233]

It won’t fit for this car

[@stevem3384]

gotta make that move too even tho winter is almost over i have a sound system with two amps and subs, yeahahhh i need a bigger CCA; thx for the video man

[@rogermcghee8125]

I see you're in Nashua, I'm assuming NH. I am in Raymond (but work in Lowell), just up the road. Changing wife's 2006 Honda to the size 35 battery today, thank you for the video.

[@NoPointOfThis123]

I moved out of my parents house which was in Hollis, right next to Nashua. I'm down in Houston, TX now, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video

I have family in Manchester nh im in mass tho the Berkshire’s

[@rookietoprobuildz]

A good battery goes a long way !

[@tahanlaoboy]

I love 51R-E Group Size battery its last long and fast charging its small but good I think your car got alternator problem I saw the yellow light always on

[@NoPointOfThis123]

Nah I think that was the ABS light, I don't have this car anymore but that battery from the video lasted a good few years until I sold it. Didn't have any alternator issues with it but the car had an ABS light for as long as I can remember

[@1jackvalley580]

I have a 2006 2.4L 4 cylinder Honda Element. I have some physical disability so I had my garage put in a new battery this winter for me, and they put in a new group 51R Interstate 500cca battery. I live in a 🥶 colder Midwest climate and my Honda sits outside because I have no garage. Some of the time it had a struggle turning over when it was extremely cold, but it always started. I've called multiple auto repair shops including the shop I trust and I have used for years and not one of them will put in any battery other than the 51R because that's what the vehicle calls for, and if something goes wrong using the group 35, they don't want to be responsible. So what can go wrong?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

I had this type of battery in both of my previous accords for several years and nothing went wrong, as long as they replace the battery like normal and make sure not to accidentally touch the battery terminals with something metal. But in terms of the actual battery inside the car, the voltage is still the same so it won't affect any of the car systems.

[@JohnT2088]

I didn't change a new battery holder. I put the group 35 in the same tray the honda accord 2010 v4 came with. the group 35 battery does fit in the original group 51 oem battery tray. Mines fit. Why do you need to do all that for?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

On the 7th gens we have to change the tray out, as well as the tie down or else it won't fit. But it's cheap enough anyways and you could find them at junkyards if you wanted to.

[@JohnT2088]

@@NoPointOfThis123 i don’t know what generation is my accord but its a 2010 accord. The OEM battery tray fits the group 35 battery. Well not fully flush and might be sitting on the inside outer lip of the battery tray but it been years and years no problem. I did use a universal tie down and did not reuse the battery cover cause that would only fit the group 51R. battery. Maybe if i bought the v6 battery tray then it would be properly fully flush.

[@slimmbabyy6841]

@@NoPointOfThis123 i have a 2004 Honda Accord in the 35 fit in mines i didn’t need to change anything

[@7even.6ix.zer09]

How was your touch screen with the new battery? Having any AC issues yet with the android touch screen.?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

I don't have the car anymore but I've had the radio for 3 years by the time I sold the car and it never gave me any problems. Just make sure to read reviews of the brand you buy because mine was XTRONS but they all look the same.

[@24hrWalgreens]

You're from Nashua? Just bought an accord, live in lowell!

[@NoPointOfThis123]

That's crazy lol I used to live in Lowell but yeah I'm right next to Nashua now

[@jhosue_247]

Did the 2013 v6 accord originally come with the 35 or the 24f group size battery?

[@ganzonomy]

24f for the 2013 Accord v6

[@edgarluna2327]

Yo, I got a question for you since your mileage and mine are about the same and we have the same car. I'm almost touching 300,000 as well. What should I do or what can I do if someday in the far future I reach the maximum mileage and still wanna keep the car? Do I get a new engine, a new transmission or something? Is there a way to reset the number of miles is what I'm saying basically

[@qual1356]

2jz turbo swap my friend 😉

[@richhierez3395]

Make review video on the mods u put into the car

[@NoPointOfThis123]

In the spring I will, I have a few things I wanna do first during this winter

[@Freedomind901]

the oroginal battery tray also fits the group 35 no?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

You can test it but I'm pretty sure it was just slightly too small

[@WhittyPics]

Some are using size 24F

[@ganzonomy]

I did the same modification to my 2003 Accord. I initially used an optima group 35, which got me about two and a half years of battery life instead of the 51R only getting me about one year battery life. I've since switched to an Odyssey group 35 AGM battery, and I hope that I continue to get the same level of cranking performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYjHZKxqpZhgacU I made a review of my experience with the group 35 battery, and suffice to say it's been entirely positive. And when it's warm out the car turns over extremely quickly. I almost feel sorry for the starter.

[@atomicforcegaming2867]

Do you know if this will fit in an 07 TSX ?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

Yeah it should fit just fine, chassis are mostly the same anyways

[@adriandobronx]

What exact air intake do you have ? Also how has it held up over time ?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

I had the AEM short ram intake. This was for only for Accords without the MAF sensor. I had it for about 2 years and it held up perfectly, never had any fitment issues and it sounded great too. Only got rid of it because I got a different Accord with the MAF sensor so it didn't fit.

[@adriandobronx]

Which intake do you have now ? And how is it holding up ? Also when are you going to upload again ?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

@@adriandobronx Currently I just have the stock intake on my new car, but I was thinking of getting the HPS intake. As for the uploads, I've been unemployed for a few months until just last week so for now I really need to save money lol. But I hope to upload this summer if I can get around to it.

[@elprimo2751]

Does this tray fits a bigger battery? Like a group 24f?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

People have done it before in different generations, you might just need to use a universal battery tie down In this thread a 51R was replaced with a 24F www.driveaccord.net/threads/24f-battery-upgrade.496545/

[@pretzelman2982]

So I can buy two of the same hooks ?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

Yeah for the hooks you need 2 of them, the stock ones aren't long enough

[@KingLess2000]

Dayum!!! -2 degrees. WoW

[@joelblanco6538]

will a 24f battery work as well?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

People have swapped 24F batteries into 9th gen Accords before, I think it will work fine but you might need to use a different battery tie down

[@itscarlosg233]

How did you get the sealed version?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

If you mean the Honda parts I got them from hondapartsnow.com. Part numbers are in the description and you can find them on the site

[@itscarlosg233]

Lol, I meant the battery since at my Walmarts they sell all batteries with vent caps on top.

[@NoPointOfThis123]

@@itscarlosg233 Oh lmao I got mine at my local Walmart too, maybe they have different ones for different stores

[@williamparra2000]

Great video, I just realized that you have air filter different from the original version. I have heard that this filter helps to reduce the gas consume. Would be great a video about this topic. Cheers from Spain!

[@NoPointOfThis123]

Yeah I've got 37 MPG (15.3 KM/L) on long highway road trips before, and my car has over 280K miles (450K km) on it

[@Kiwi-bf7bh]

@@NoPointOfThis123 do you think it's best if its tuned with a air intake or just leave it with the air intake

[@NoPointOfThis123]

@@Kiwi-bf7bh It doesn't need a tune, the stock ECU will learn the new air/fuel ratio on its own

[@ygbodybuilder3023]

Does Honda void warranty doing this?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

Car batteries are usually not even covered under warranty to begin with as far as I know. It's just a maintenance expense so it's pretty much the same as replacing wiper blades.

[@rogermcghee8125]

"Sir, we're calling today to inform you that your automobile warranty is about to expire. Can we interest you in an extended warranty?" *LOL*

[@mohsiniqbal8528]

Any plans for performance upgrades?

[@NoPointOfThis123]

Mines automatic so it's already mad slow to begin with, but I have a TSX intake manifold I wanna put on it soon. Plus it has 282K miles so I don't wanna do anything crazy to the engine.
