Battery died at the Acura dealership!

Well this past weekend I was planning on driving to DC for the weekend to attend the Acurazine meet, but decided not to due to some technical difficulties with my TL and other responsibilities and priorities.

It turned out that today when I was taking it to the dealer to have them inspect it that the optima 51R finally died. How lucky is it that the battery went dead at the dealer!? The unfortunate side of the story is that the battery is housed underneath the blower which will need to be removed in order to replace it.

So now i've got an 03 TSX as a loaner until its replaced.

If anyone has a supercharger I highly suggest running some wires to the trunk in case your battery dies. When it does then you will be able to just go buy a battery and place it in the trunk. Swap the terminals and you will be ready to go.

Or buy a smaller Battery and have it turned sideways. That would allow room for the SC and you should be able to remove it then. There are a few companies that make really high CCA batterys but very small form factor. I just forget the names.
