Depends how much you care about originality.  Sounds about right for the OEM 
battery...the group 51 or 51R (Honda) battery has more cold cranking amps 
and will overcome small problems.  The original type battery WILL start an 
early.  Last I heard the original size battery was available from NAPA.
