Battery Life on Acura 3.2 TL
he dealer called me when my car was there for 45,000 mile service and recommended that I get the battery replaced as it only cranks out 360 Amperes when it should show 550 Amperes - is it really required to change it - I just bought the car 3 days ago but it is a 2002 model and I was wondering if this is normal for a battery to do this - show less charge - he said that the alternator is fine.
Please advise.

change it now and dont let it die on you.
mine died right in front of home depot - when i said it died it really JUST died - no slow crank, nothing. it was fine when i drove it to home depot but it wouldnt start afterward.
