I bought the current battery in my s2k in 2020. Earlier this year, months before the warranty ran out, my battery was so dead that I had to jump it at every start. So I stopped over at Honda and after they ran a test, I got a brand new battery for free.
edit: oh. the Honda Canada battery warranty is 2 years full replacement, then prorated replacement warranty up to 60 months (5 years). same for Acura Canada.

Good to know! I think it might already out of warranty as it's year #5 now - however, this is the 2nd battery that this car has been through - presumably based on forum comments from auto idle stop. I'll give the dealer a try though to see if they'll replace for free though.
With that said, I was trying to avoid the dealer just because this is the 2nd OEM battery in 5 years so I was looking to see if there's other options out there that might last a bit longer.
