I have a c33 Laurel (RB20E) (I know this isn't the right place but the other sections are inactive as hell)

I was wondering what kind of battery this thing would take in the USA? I know Japanese batteries are smaller and I'd like to know what would fit in it.

Any advice is appreciated.

I'd just take some dimensions of the one you have, and find one that matches. Just make sure the posts are the same as well, and the hood doesn't close on them ;)

I've never heard of the JDM batteries being smaller than USDM.

Batteries are available in a large range of sizes, in all markets.
Get one that will fit in the same place, and has the same or higher cold cranking amps (CCA)
I'm also confused as to how Japanese batteries are smaller? Where was this info obtained?
