I did google it and see that you are right.. Did not know that the 51r battery was smaller years ago. My 21 HRV uses the 51r ...larger size and I wish that you could change it to a more powerful battery but they wont fit in the HRV. When I had my 07 Accord with the 51r there was a kit to switch to the larger battery used for the ones used with the v6...

I had a walmart value battery - 24F - and it was fine. There $70 now though, so not as great. Got about 2 years out of it before it dropped to a level I found unacceptable. However it only had 1 year replacement, no 60 months as the OP indicated. So 60 months pro rated for a $55 battery is pretty awesome if that's the case.
I would do the Rural King one for $55 instead if I had a Rural King anywhere near here.

You should check out post #54 in this Honda HRV forum thread where the owner provides a few options to upgrade the stock 51R battery in his 2020 HRV to a more stout Group 56R or 124R battery.

To Halderm: Why are the labels on the 3 and 9 o'clock positions on your battery tester blanked out (post #1)?
Not blocking any labels it was a Snapchat I was marking out some text.
I have used RK batteries over a decade now and have had great success. I have yet to take one back or ne go bad but I have battery tenders that I switch for most of the machinery that I use. You cannot beat the price.
thanks I will look at it...
Wish they had more locations, nearest one is 4 hours away. Tractor Supply has that sector wrapped up around here anyway, even if RK moved into the area it would be like how Lowes and HD have stores across the street from each other.
A lot more expensive and isn’t good at holding charge even new. OEM battery died in 3.5 years svd needed regular jump start the last 1.5 year. AutoZone replacement has been good for 8+ years now.
Fit needs to have two metal brackets cut to fit 51R since 2011.
Yeah, they’re regional for sure. Not sure if you’ve ever been in one but RK is like TSC, but probably 10x larger, 10-30% lower prices, and has guns. If given the choice I would choose it over TSC every time. TSC does well with the suburban crowd I think.
Exide is just a brand name these days. About 3 years ago it ceased to exist as a manufacturing entity. The Exide brand is now manufactured in the USA by Stryten Energy.
