Battery???

Car would not start today. Cranked over as fast as always, but would not start. Acura Care flat bedded it to the dealer. Just got a call from the dealer saying it was the battery. I do not claim to be the brightest bulb in the string (hard time letting go of xmas), but if the car cranks over quickly, how can it be the battery?

a bad battery usually means slow-->no cranking. did it crank the same speed the whole time you tried, or did it get slow like it was dieing?

It cranked fine. Tried (3) times and not wanting to kill the battery, I let it sit for awhile and tried again. Same thing, fast cranking but no start. Acura Care driver also tried (4) times to start it with no luck. Sure as hell does not seem like a battery problem to me.

Update . . .

The best kind of problem; intermittent electrical! Dealer decided it was not the battery when it finally started for them. Got a RSX loaner until Monday when they hope to find the problem. Damn I hate cheap loaners. (but it beats walking)
