Hi everyone,

I'd like to upgrade to a more robust battery, specifically a yellow-top Optima Battery. They don't have a 2019 Passport as a compatible option. Has anyone upgraded to an Optima and can confirm the size that fits our vehicle?

Thanks in advance!

Why? What's wrong with the factory provided battery?

My experience has shown that Honda install pretty good batteries from the factory. I have only had to change one Honda battery after owning 6 Hondas. That was in my 2006 S2000 after 12 years of perfect service. I only changed it because of age. It still worked fine.

FYI, looks like Optima now has a battery listed for the 19 PP:

YELLOWTOP® DH6

The YELLOWTOP® DH6 is a high-performance AGM battery designed to deliver a strong burst of ignition power for a reliable start-up. Discover YELLOWTOP® today!

I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has installed one.

The Optima batteries owned by Johnson Controls are made in Mexico. Johnson Control batteries at one time were some of the best, but they are not as highly regarded anymore. There are posts on other forums about the Optima batteries that they are not as good as they once were when manufactured by a small company in Colorado. Just like anything else though you will read both good and bad about just about anything.

Right now East Penn/ Deka/ MK batteries are supposed to be about the best and made in the USA. As with just most things though, YMMV!
