Well tonite i was gettin gas, and she fuckin stopped again. MY baterrry died for the 2nd time in a month. Who should i yell at 1st, should i call acura and make them replace it, and is it a warranty thing, cause ill bring it in for it for free. Let me know, cause i dont have jumpers and this time i was at a gas station and some nice hick had one, but last time i was at my gf house and had to wait about a hour for acura customer suport and that was at midnite. let me know.

last i heard.. acura kinda covers it under warrenty... they pay half and you pay half for a new one.

 

ok
but how much

 

Could it be the ignition system?

 

Acura will replace battery free of charge within the 1st year. For the next 4 years after that, you will get credit toward the purchase of your new battery. 12-36 month = 60% || 37-48 month = 40% || 49-60 months = 20% credit back. Anything after the first year you have to pay for labor.

My 02 TL-S battery died 3 times within 2 months, just leaving the radio on while washing the car, and each time i called Acura RSA(road side assitance) which cost them about $30 each time. So i took to dealer and they replaced it for me. (within one year)

I took my moms 99 TL in for a weak battery...they said that Acura will cover 50% and i would have to pay 50%, i asked them how much would i pay, they said $59. I declined their offer and went to local Costco and picked up a 84 month (7 year) battery, 900 Cold Cranking Amps..for $50; better and cheaper than stock battery.

 

Multiple dead batteries in a few months = time for a check of the electrical system (bad alternator?). If there is a fault in the warrantied electrical system then I would argue for them to include a new battery with the repairs.

 

all i did last nite was leave the radio on while fillin up at the gas statiion, oh i had the lights on too. the 1st time i had the radio on, but no lights. this is rediculous that the battery would die so easily, but i should have known it was coming, cause it almost seamed the baterry was gettin weaker for the last few days.

I think that I jumped to a conclusion in my last statement.

We need some data here:
Is this the original battery?
What year (how old) is your car?

If your battery is not holding a charge it is either:
old and ready to be replaced (I'd just go to your auto part store of choice and buy a new one, much cheaper then dealer for a better rated battery)

or

a problem with the electrical system (usually the alternater/generator).

I would guess that if your car is a couple years old and you still have the original battery that its probably just time to fork out $40 - $70 for a new one.

OEM car batteries never seem to last more then 3 years - aftermarket batteries seem to have higher CCA and longevity. If you're the type of person that likes to leave on battery operated items with the engine off (radio and lights, as you said), then you'll get better use from an aftermarket battery anyway.

The auto part store should be able to test your battery before you purchase a new one to see if can hold a reasonable charge or not. If they check it and the battery is still good, I'd consider having the electrical system checked out (by Acura under warranty).
