I was surprised how small the battery was in the Civic HX, which also only uses a half-radiator.

I mainly enjoyed it because of the room it freed up under the hood, moving the batteries made room for 2 turbochargers, a big air cleaner and an air compressor. 100 less pounds of battery weight means I can carry 100 more pounds.
