Both available at CT or PartsExpress for ~$149 usually.

Or, since you said middle of the road, you could just get a good strong new battery. Aim for ~800cca (lower isn't as strong, but 650 is about the norm in Accord sized batteries, higher {in auto bat sizes} has to many parts and don't last as many years). These can be had in the $90 - $120 range. In Canada, under normal use, you should get 4-5 years out of a normal car battery. 3-4 years in warmer climates or high-end use.

I own an exide orbital extreme and it's a great battery. I'd recommend one of those. If you are looking for used I might be willing to sell mine so shoot me a PM if u are interested.

Either way, nice battery and you can get them at Canadian Tire [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've always been a fan of Can Tire Eliminator batteries.
