Here are the dates and prices for the same three identical batteries:
9/18...$79
9/22...$109
9/26...$149
10 minute job to swap them out....helps to take the engine air filter off first.

Since you're not daily driving either of your cars you're just wasting money by buying batteries every four years, IMHO. If it were me, I'd be upset if I wasn't getting at least 6 years out of them with the amount you drive, especially the Prelude.
I've been lucky when it comes to car batteries. The last two that died on me did so in my garage.
