Which one to buy

  • Match the type you have: the 2020 results were enhanced flooded (EFB) and AGM, a sign many later CR-Vs need one of those. Do not downgrade to a standard flooded battery if your CR-V came with EFB or AGM.
  • Match the group: Group 47 (H5) and Group 51R are different sizes; buy the one the fit check shows for your trim.
  • Value: the Gold Group 47 at $219.99 with 3 years, where the fit check allows a flooded battery.
