The original battery for the 9th generation Accord is from the Japanese brand Yuasa, with the model number 70D23L, a 12V60AH-550A battery. Here is more information about car batteries: 1. The original car battery is also known as a 'maintenance-free battery'. This type of battery does not require maintenance from the time it leaves the factory until it is scrapped. Its advantages include being maintenance-free, as well as being resistant to vibration, high temperatures, and having a compact size, but the price is relatively higher compared to dry-charged lead-acid batteries. 2. Car batteries are lead-acid batteries, and keeping the battery fully charged as much as possible can maximize the battery's lifespan.
When driving a ninth-generation Accord, the original battery is usually a Panasonic brand, which long-time owners know is quite durable. My previous car was a 2014 model, and it came with this battery—it lasted five or six years without needing replacement, mainly because the voltage remained stable, even in cold winters. If your car struggles to start or the dashboard lights appear dim, the battery is likely nearing the end of its life, and you should check if the voltage drops below 12 volts. It's recommended to test the fluid level every two years, adding distilled water or keeping the connectors clean. Additionally, some alternative brands like Varta or Bosch are also good options, offering high cost-performance, but avoid buying cheap counterfeit products. When replacing the battery, it's best to visit a specialized repair shop—they know the installation specifications for Accords and can prevent wiring issues caused by improper installation. In short, maintaining your battery well can save you a lot of trouble and expenses.
I found that most of the batteries in the ninth-generation Accord are from Yuasa, as my buddy told me after he changed cars. He drives a 2015 model, which came with this brand when new, and they typically last about three to four years before needing replacement. The price is moderate, and discounts are often available when shopping online. Be careful not to leave the headlights or air conditioning on, as they can drain the battery, especially in the summer heat—always turn off electronic devices before parking. If the engine starts sluggishly or the horn sounds weak, the battery might be aging; you can check it yourself with a voltmeter. When replacing, choose a battery with a capacity of 60Ah or higher to meet the Accord's requirements—don’t just buy a generic one. Daily maintenance is simple: just drive more to keep it charged.
