Just wondering if anyone knew of any good aftermarket 12v batteries that would fit a 2000 Acura EL? Honda batteries are tiny.

I've seen those new Optima yellow tops for imports, anyone used one before? I dont want a secondary battery, I'm just looking to replace my primary (so it has to be able to start well)

Yeah, I saw the Yellow top's that you are talking about. They look pretty good.

Do yellow tops traditionally have the same starting/cranking capability of an OEM battery?
