The original battery that came with my 91 Civic was one called an AC
Delco Freedom battery (maintenance free). That lasted until 1998 (60K
miles) (basically the battery went dead after I stored the car in the
open for one month). Replaced with same (cost me about $60 if I
remember correctly). That is still in my car and still going strong
this winter (now at 165K miles). I think one can buy a Honda battery
with dealership/Honda coupons for about $50, but if that lasts just 4
years as others suggest, then I personnaly would stick with the AC
Delco. No idea who makes it (GM?, Delphi? Johnson Controls?).
