Does anyone know where and what batteries is for a 2009 honda fit?

Thanks.

 

Size 151R

Not widely available...try Autozone, Batteries +, or the dealer (yes, the DEALER). Good price is around $100 USD

 

Yeah, I couldn't find the size anywhere but at Honda dealer. On sale you can get for around $90 but it usually costs over $100. This battery was designed only for the Fit.
Another 1/4 inch and we could have put in a decent battery. I've had my bad luck with this battery... turns out there were bad batches made. My first one only lasted 4 months from new, and had the problem where it's charge system bulb showed "good" but wasn't. I needed load testing to show it was a bad battery.

 

Realize that the battery's charge indicator "eye" (that's what you meant, right?) only checks ONE cell of the battery.



Most batteries (in my experience) lose acid on the two end cells, first. The OE Honda batteries can be checked and re-filled with distilled water by removing or cutting the label over the cell caps. That's a GOOD thing.



On the 2007-2008 Fits, the main fuse holder covers the end cell. Requires disconnecting the battery, resetting the radio code, and doing the Idle Learn Procedure.

Not sure about the 2009+ Fits...


Most batteries lose acid during the Summer...but you won't notice the reduced cranking capacity until Winter. A Fall-season battery checkup will prevent a no-start in frigid weather.

That didn't matter... that cell tested out bad, individually, as well.
