2000 Civic battery

The OEM 12 volt battery in my 2000 Civic needs replacing, I've heard the
bigger (capacity wise) the battery the easier on the alternator it is,
true ?

don't waste time thinking about it unless you want to relocate the
battery - physical size constraints.

 

Don't buy more battery than you need. The more they squeeze in the more
internally fragile leading to failure.

 

What kind of "capacity"? What you've heard is wrong. If the battery can
hold a proper charge (NOT necessarily 12V!!!!)and is sufficient
to operate the starter, it's fine.

You're around Houston Texas. Just buy the battery that's the correct size
for your battery tray, and that has the terminals the right way around.

An Interstate I-51R will do you just fine.

Failing that, Wal-Mart sells Eveready batteries that are good.

 

thank you all, Autozone has an el chepo "Valucraft" 410 CCA battery for
$ 45.99 is this good ?
