You won't need a backup battery for that stuff, though getting a small backup battery for the alarm is a good idea. Because the first thing most theives will do to disarm an alarm is disconnect the battery/cut the alarm's power. Backup batteries for things like a stereo system are really only necessary for running the system with the car off for legnthy periods of time.

We just put one in the Civic. There a little pricey, but worth it.

I put an Optima in my 2005 Civic last fall. Cost $155 at Advanced Auto Parts, but at least they took my old dead battery off my hands for free. It has cut down on my headlight dimming problem alot, but not completely.

so is the back up battery for an alarm system like a car battery or is it like a double a or what? haha


*edit and thanks for all the comments guys! much appreciated

An alarm backup battery is much smaller than a regular car battery, their not the same thing.

Here's one.

thanks bro! and thanks club integra haha i am well informed

 

[alexjoo]

which one is the 6cell one? haha none of them have the cells on them!

 

[TegSox]

Optima's are six cell. See the round sections, there's a third behind that flat part, and another row of three in the back.

Optima's are a dry cell style battery. They never leak and can be mounted in any position, even upside down.

Optima's are great from what I've heard..but if you still have problems with dimming lights or anything of the sort, consider upgrading your alternator.
