My battery died (can't get above 10.5V, loosing voltage while sitting etc) and I need to get a new one. What should I look out for? There are a lot of different types of them like AGM, Lithium Iron, Flooded Acid etc

Car is Integra (1998)

Hmm, it seems that the situation with three companies are in USA. I am from Europe, been looking into Varta batteries

I ran Varta on my Corsa, no complaints. I got it for a good price and never failed me.

Varta makes the Bosch batteries we get. I think they’re owned by Johnson Controls, but that’s their only involvement. Solid bet IMO. Well-made and reliable.
