Does the oem battery actually say "Acura" on it? I dont remember, havent seen an oem battery since '93.

I've always used Sears Diehard Gold in mine. :dunno:

You cannot beat a Die Hard.....ask Bruce Willis! I have them in ALL my cars.

Happy for you, but that is why they are called stealerships!

Because of the rediculously high mark up they put on parts and high labor rates. I use a well established independent shop since '89 and save at least 30-35% on maintenence. Only way to go for an older car notorious for expensive parts....

okay okay i've been reading al lthis time and i've got a question. Whats a good CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) rating for a 92 LS with added bells and whistles (aftermarket radio, fogs, system, HIDs, 2 big subs, 1500 watt amp). My CCA rating is now like 500. When I went to test my battery today, it was good (Duralast), but the people in the store laughed at me. My brother had a Cadillac Seville or something and his battery had a CCA rating almost twice that, like a 920 or something. . . I know the Legend LS comes with lots and lots of electronic goodies and it's about the same length as a cadillac, but i'm not sure if I should stay with my battery size or not.

It's -13 outside without the windchill, and my car hasn't been run since last Saturday, Started right up, but then, I DID spend $45.00 for my 2 year old Wal-Mart special.:headscrat :bootyshak :bootyshak :bootyshak

Are the optima batteries universal? or do you have to get a specific #?

My mom's battery says L E X U S on it. Looks niice.
I've had to get jump starts at 2 Legend Meets so I need a battery
*Thx Tyson & Wyatt & Mike

How come no one mentioned Kirkland's at Costco? 100 month battery at $50-ish is the best price anywhere.

AAA replaced my battery on-site of failure for $117... works great...

Are the optima batteries universal? or do you have to get a specific #?

a group 34/78 will fit if you bend the positive terminal...

otherwise a group 25 would fit better since its smaller.

i believe the OEM CCA rating on the Legend was around 525 CCA. now given your added bells and whistles you can go higher up to like 700 CCA and should be fine, unless you live in a really cold climate. you shouldnt need to change your battery unless its going bad. reserve capacity is another feature of batteries. usually the batters with less CCAs have a lesser reserve capacity. reserve capacity basically is how long you could keep your lights and stereo on without draining the battery too much. if you like to play your stereo without the engine on, id recommend upgrading to a better battery. Optima batteries are the best because they have lots of CCAs and a longer reserve capacity not to mentioned they can be discharged and recharged more than your regular battery.
