Prices checked October 19, 2026, in USD. These are base battery prices, not installed totals. Taxes, optional extended coverage, labor, setup and applicable delivery surcharges can add to the total. Confirm the current product price and selected options before ordering. Catalog listings are a starting point; have BHB verify fitment if the year, market or original battery information is uncertain.
Start with the exact Honda or Acura hybrid model
A Civic Hybrid pack is not selected using the same listing as a conventional Civic battery. Insight generations and Accord generations also have their own product groups. For an imported vehicle, send the market designation and original battery label as well as the VIN before ordering.
Distinguish a battery from a power inverter
Our catalog also contains Civic and ILX power-inverter products. Those are separate components and are not included in this buying guide’s battery comparison table. Confirm the diagnosis and the part being quoted so you do not buy an inverter when you need a battery, or the reverse.
Confirm the original battery configuration
For older Civic applications, ask BHB to confirm the original battery configuration and connection arrangement before shipment. Supply clear photos if there is any uncertainty or if the vehicle has had prior battery work. Matching only the nameplate is not enough.
Compare what arrives in the box
Ask whether the replacement is supplied assembled, which electronics are included, whether anything transfers from the original pack and whether the exact application requires setup. Use the supplied vehicle-specific instructions; do not carry an installation assumption from one Honda generation to another.
What should you compare between suppliers?
Ask whether the offer is a new OEM pack, a remanufactured assembly, a used battery or a limited repair. Compare the exact application, pack contents, test information, original shipping, installation and written warranty exclusions. A headline price or warranty length alone does not describe the complete purchase.
Choose an installation option
- DIY — BHB’s most popular option: Installing your own battery is often more straightforward than people expect. Our packs arrive assembled, and our vehicle-specific instructions guide you through the process. Take your time, follow the shutdown steps, required waiting times and protective-equipment guidance, and complete the specified checks before handling electrical connections. We’re happy to help with questions. Confirm any programming or setup requirements for your application before you begin.
- Your mechanic: We can ship to the shop you choose. Confirm it accepts customer-supplied batteries and obtain a quote for the complete installation.
- Installer network: Explore our White Glove installation options and confirm local availability and labor charges.
- Plainfield, Illinois: Schedule installation at our shop at 17320 S. Delia Ave., Plainfield, IL 60586.
Shipping, core return and warranty
Standard continental U.S. shipping is included; confirm any remote-area or residential freight surcharges and expedited service on your quote. Qualifying domestic DIY orders include prepaid core-return shipping with no upfront core deposit.
Keep the shipping materials and return your original core within 30 days to activate warranty coverage. Contact us before the deadline if you need help. A $500 charge applies if the required core is not returned.
The standard warranty is 3 years with unlimited mileage, with an optional 6-year term where offered. Your order shows the selected term. Replacement shipping, installation labor and towing are not covered. Commercial-use vehicles have separate terms. See our complete warranty policy for coverage, exclusions and claim requirements.
Honda & Acura buying questions
Are all Honda hybrid batteries the same chemistry?
No single chemistry or installation assumption should be applied across the entire catalog. Use the exact product details and ask BHB to verify your vehicle’s original configuration.
Does a US-market listing automatically fit an imported Honda?
No. Have BHB check the market designation, VIN and battery information before ordering. A similar model name or year does not establish compatibility.
What if I have an IMA or hybrid warning but no diagnosis?
Send the complete diagnostic-code report and symptoms. The warning alone does not determine whether the battery or another component needs replacement.
