Honda Genuine Batteries
Choosing the right battery means more than matching size. Your car’s technology, climate, and usage all matter. Honda dealership experts can recommend and install the proper battery, removing any guesswork.
Do all types of car batteries work in every vehicle?
Modern batteries come in many varieties, including: lead acid; enhanced flooded; AGM and lithium. In-car technology and start-stop systems all place demands on your battery, which has to meet the needs of your vehicle. Take the guesswork out of your decisions by letting the experts at your Honda dealership help ensure you get the right fit.
What impacts how long a battery lasts?
Battery life depends on many factors including driving habits, climate, and onboard tech like start-stop systems. Ideal conditions like mild weather and longer drives can help extend battery life. In typical Canadian conditions, you can expect about 4.5 to 5 years of battery life.
High Demand
Vehicle features place high demand on batteries.
Heat Destroys
Excess heat damages batteries.
Cold Taxes
Cold temperatrues limit the amount of power a battery can generate.
Battery Age
The average life is 4.5 to 5 years.
How does Canadian weather affect my battery?
Canada’s extreme temperatures affect batteries year-round. Heat shortens lifespan, while winter increases electrical demand when battery output is lowest. A healthy battery is key for reliable cold-weather starts.
*Battery percentage shows how much starting power the battery can deliver vs. ideal conditions.
**Engine percentage shows how much power engine needs to start vs. ideal conditions. For example, at -29ºC a battery may only deliver 18% of its power, while the engine needs 268% more to start.

Do all types of car batteries work in every vehicle?
While there are various types — including Lead Acid, EFB, AGM, and Lithium-based — not all are suitable for every car. Vehicles with start-stop systems and complex electronics need batteries that meet higher demands. Your Honda dealership can help select the right battery for your vehicle.
What warranty comes with a Honda replacement battery?
The battery is backed by a 60-month, unlimited mileage warranty. During the first 24 months, the battery and labour are covered 100%. During months 25 through 60, the replacement cost of the battery is pro-rated. A battery tester will ensure that the battery has failed, but if does within 24 months, parts and labour are covered with no cost to you. Conditions apply*.
What will a battery test from my Honda dealer show?
Honda battery tests report on:
Cold Cranking Amps: CCA vs what the battery was rated when new. This measures starting power, especially in cold weather. Bigger engines may need more CCA.State of Charge: Shows current voltage, like the battery indicator on your phone. Not a strong health indicator on its own.
State of Health: Reports battery's overall ability to produce Cold Cranking Amps and Voltage, relative to rated performance. Battery health is useful in determining when a replacement should be considered.
Why isn’t battery voltage enough to judge battery health?
Voltage shows how charged a battery is, not how healthy it is. An unhealthy battery that's fully charged may not have the ability to deliver enough current to start your vehicle.
Can a fully charged battery still be worn out?
Yes. A battery can show 100% charge but still have poor health, and a limited capacity to provide rated amps - like a phone battery that drains quickly. A full test is the only way to know for sure.
