BCI group 47 (H5/L2), rated at 410 cold cranking amps from the factory. Group size is a physical dimension and terminal-position standard, so a battery from a different group may not clamp down or may put the terminals on the wrong side. ### How many CCA does a 2023-2025 Honda CR-V need? At least 410 CCA. Going higher is harmless and helps in cold climates; going lower is how a vehicle that started fine in October stops starting in January. ### Does the 2023-2025 Honda CR-V need an AGM battery? The factory battery is a conventional flooded type. AGM is a valid upgrade, but never downgrade from AGM to flooded. ### Where is the battery on a 2023-2025 Honda CR-V? Engine bay, driver side. ### Does a 2023-2025 Honda CR-V need the battery registered after replacement? Gas (1.5T) models finally moved off the little 51R to a DIN-format Group 47 (H5) battery; parts stores list 47/H5 for 2023+ gas CR-Vs, with AGM H5 as a popular upgrade. Hybrids differ. They keep a Group 51R 12V under the hood (see hybrid engine entry). Confirm your battery's stamped group before buying. ## Sources - [NHTSA Part 573 report, 24V-744 steering gearbox ('sticky steering') recall](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V744-4093.PDF) - [NHTSA Part 573 report, 24V-763 high-pressure fuel pump recall](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V763-9335.PDF) - [Honda News, American Honda recalls ~1.7M vehicles to repair steering gearboxes](https://hondanews.com/en-US/releases/american-honda-recalls-approximately-17-million-vehicles-to-repair-steering-gearboxes) - [Car and Driver, Honda recalls 720K Accord/Civic/CR-V over fuel pump](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a62693114/honda-accord-civic-crv-fuel-pump-recall/) - [College Hills Honda, 2023-2027 CR-V maintenance parts (80291-TF3-E01, 17220-64A-A00)](https://www.collegehillshonda.com/category/6thgen-honda-crv-maintenance.html) - [Honda OEM Parts Online, 17220-6MA-J01 hybrid air filter (2023-2026)](https://honda.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/honda-air-filter-172206maj01) - [AMSOIL lookup, 2023 CR-V 2.0L LFC3 oil capacity 4.2 qt](https://www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2023/honda/cr-v/2-0l-4-cyl-engine-code-lfc3-8/) - [TireSize.com, 2023 CR-V OE fitments by trim](https://tiresize.com/tires/Honda/CR-V/2023/) - [AutoZone, 2024 CR-V battery (Group 47/H5)](https://www.autozone.com/batteries-starting-and-charging/battery/honda/cr-v/2024) - [HondaPartsNow, 2024 CR-V Hybrid OEM 12V battery (Group 51, 500 CCA)](https://www.hondapartsnow.com/oem-2024-honda-cr_v_hybrid-car_batteries.html) - [fueleconomy.gov, 2024 CR-V / CR-V Hybrid EPA ratings](https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2024_Honda_CR-V.shtml) - [WiperSizeChart, 2023/2024 CR-V wiper sizes 24/19/10](https://www.wipersizechart.com/make/honda/cr-v/2023) ## Other Honda CR-V generations - [2017-2022 Honda CR-V battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2017-2022/battery) - [2012-2016 Honda CR-V battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2012-2016/battery) Or [compare all generations](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/battery). ## More for the 2023-2025 Honda CR-V - [Oil & filter](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/oil) - [Tires & wheels](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/tires) - [Wiper blades](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/wipers) - [Air & cabin filters](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/filters) - [Bulbs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/bulbs) - [Brakes](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/brakes) - [Fluids](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/fluids) - [Service schedule](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/service-schedule) - [Problems & reliability](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/common-problems) - [Oil light reset](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/oil-reset) - [Key fob battery](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/key-fob-battery) - [Specs](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2023-2025/specs) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
