Actually, it's the older battery - my HCH is still rolling with its original battery.

I tried to replace it but the replacement I bought was a dud and Bumblebee graciously took it off my hands. I DD'd the original and restored it to like-new performance.

I'll be rolling over 200K miles before the next oil change, and it's holding together pretty well.

I think if more people were willing to put just a bit of extra effort into their cars like they used to - remember having to adjust your valve lash every 20,000 miles? - fewer people would have been so quick to hate Honda for having a battery that didn't live forever.
