How many of '99 thru '01 owners are still using the OEM battery? Mine is only 2-1/2 years old and it took a dive. What a piece of crap! Hate to replace with another OEM but does Acura pro-rate stock batteries? First tires...now batteries; whats next! :ar15:

 

my lasted 3 1/2 yrs? Got another one for 55 bucks......I don't see anything wrong with the stock batteries.

 

Mom's 99 TL OEM battery didn't last that long...just went out to Costco and grabbed a 84 month one for $60

 

when i picked up my '99 in august of '02 the OEM battery was already gone....

 

99 still has original battery.

 

98.. changed mine out last winter.. got an OPTIMA!!!

 

i have a 2000 with 111,000 miles on mine and stiss starting strong!

 

Same here. I have over 72K miles.

 

I have always found Hondas stock batteries last at least 5-6 years. I do however do a lot of highway driving.

 

I have '99 and it is still strong. Still showing blue on the battery indicator.

Blue??? Mines green, and I believe mine is the original battery that was in the car. I have 79K on it.

 

That's great to hear some of you are still on the original. Even with a blue indicator my battery was dead. Guess we now know how accurate those indicators are. :p
