05 Accord battery switch?
 

What does it take to replace the 51 series 4-cyl battery with the 35 series V6 battery on my '05 Accord?

Will I need a new battery tray, cables, hold-down clamp, etc.?

Is it worth the extra $ and time?

If the batteries are in the same place, you should only need what you listed. Won't need new cables I'm guessing.

You could get a battery relocate kit and just toss the battery in the trunk.

I changed from the smaller 4 cyl battery to the larger. Battery, box, tie down, and new cable was worth the price. Heard too many complain of losing power just from listening to the radio for awhile after turning the engine off. Out in the midwest, if a battery can't keep up with that, then I can't trust it during the tough winters.
