I need a new battery for my 2002 Honda Accord V6. The OEM lasted about 5.5 years & the replacement Interstate Megatron Plus MTP-24 lasted about 5.5 years as well. It appears that size 35 is a listed option. What's the pros & cons of going to a size 35 over the size 24? The physical size differences don't appear to be enough to matter. I live in Alabama so heat is more of a concern than cold.
If I stay with a group 24, Sears lists Diehard model 30024 (585CCA) for my car but says that Diehard model 50424 (650CCA) is wrong. Both are group 24 batteries & above the CCA required by Honda (500). What gives? Yes, I understand that CCA isn't the absolute sign of a good vs. bad battery & that shouldn't be the issue here. Maybe it's just the typical Sears mess but I assume there's something more to it.
Of course, I could go with another Interstate & get a Mega-Tron II MT-24 battery.
Thanks.
