Around $150–$350 for a new 12V battery, depending on the battery type and where you buy it.
The 2019 Honda CR-V uses a standard 12-volt car battery. Prices vary based on the battery type (flooded vs AGM), whether you buy aftermarket or OEM, and the retailer or installer you choose. The exact group size is commonly 51R, but you should verify on your battery label or in the owner’s manual. This article breaks down options, typical price ranges, and how to shop for a replacement.
Battery options
Common battery choices for the 2019 CR-V fall into three main categories. Each has trade-offs in price, warranty, and performance.
- Flooded lead-acid battery (standard, maintenance-free within the sealed housing and usually the least expensive option).
- AGM (absorbed glass mat) battery (more resistant to vibration and better cold-weather performance; higher upfront cost, longer life).
- OEM Honda replacement (sold through the dealership; typically more expensive but guaranteed compatibility and sometimes bundled with dealer warranties).
Prices vary by type and retailer; the sections below outline typical price ranges you can expect from different shopping avenues.
Estimated price ranges by source
Prices differ by retailer, region, and whether installation is included. The ranges below reflect common market pricing for a 2019 CR-V battery in the United States as of 2024–2026.
- Aftermarket flooded battery: roughly $60 to $180 before core charges or tax; in-store pricing often $100 to $160 depending on brand.

Shopping and installation tips
To get the best combination of value, reliability, and warranty, follow these steps when shopping for a CR-V battery.
- Confirm the exact battery group size and terminal layout for your vehicle (likely 51R for many CR-Vs) on the label or in the manual.
- Decide on battery type based on climate, driving habits, and warranty needs (AGM is often preferred in colder climates or for longer life).
- Shop multiple sources: dealership, local auto parts stores, warehouse clubs, and reputable online retailers for price quotes on the same group size and type.
- Compare warranties (24–84 months is common). A longer warranty can offset a higher upfront price if you plan to keep the vehicle longer.
- Check whether installation is included, and inquire about core charges and proper disposal of the old battery.
Proper disposal of the old battery is often included or required by local law; most retailers offer free or low-cost recycling with purchase.
Summary
For a 2019 Honda CR-V, plan for a total cost of about $150–$350 for a new 12V battery, with installation bringing the final bill up by roughly $20–$100. Your exact price will depend on whether you choose a flooded or AGM battery, and whether you buy from a dealer, an aftermarket retailer, or an online seller. Verify the group size, compare warranties, and decide on installation options to avoid surprises.
