My battery died (can’t get above 10.5V, loosing voltage while sitting etc) and I need to get a new one. What should I look out for? There are a lot of different types of them like AGM, Lithium Iron, Flooded Acid etc
Car is Integra (1998)

I’m not knowledgeable to get into the specifics of the differences, but for your older Integra with a gasoline engine, a regular lead-acid battery will suffice. You don’t need lean angles (like AGM for motorcycles or off road applications) and you don’t need other special properties that vehicles with Start-Stop would require. Basically all you need to look for is the specified amperage/capacity and form format. Don’t spend a whole lot; the right battery for your car will probably be under 100 Dollars and last somewhere between 5 and 10-12 years, depending on which price bracket and quality level you opt for.
I’d just like to add to this and recommend interstate batteries. They are a little bit more than house brand, but are much higher quality. For example: Every duralast brand battery I’ve bought started leaking after ~ 3 years. The last interstate I bought lasted for ~ 8 years/90k miles and was like $40 more than the cheapest battery
