As title says, my battery died again today. it is still warm and car cranked slowly this moring. Last time it died (about a month ago), they just recharged it and sent me home.

This time I will be asking for replacement once dealer is open tomorrow(Monday).
I want high performance battery and willing to pay them extra. Any suggestions?

 

my concern is would dealership negotiate about me paying extra for better battery and sucky Delphi came with the car?

 

The battery is under warranty, so just let the dealer replace yours for free now. The dealer will likely either not have a good hi-po replacement (higher amps and CCA than stock) or will charge you more than full cost if it does. Wait until the replacement dies before paying for a better battery.

 

My MDX has had a dead battery 5 times. Yes 5 times, that is not a typo, they have had 4 repaor attemps and now it is in my garae as a 55k paperweight. At first they will tell u it is a messed up HFL unit. Then the next time they will ask you for any after-market devices such as lo-jack or mobile gaurdian. Thats what happened to me and now i am a pissed off monkey :killer:

 

man...the battery sucks
last time i only sat in my car for 30 minutes just listening to audio and did nothing else
battery died...= =
completely...

 

I know acura had a huge batch of bad batteries i droped the car off to get my headlights changed and they also changed the battery

 

sucks for you guys. i have an 02 accord still running the stock battery

 

My optima 51R died today which is extremely unfortunate. Luckily I was at the dealership when it decided to go!

The problem with mine dying is its located underneath the supercharger unit and in order to change it you need to remove the blower or attempt to remove it through the front where the radiator will need to be removed.

It's definitely a costly expenditure.

 

My TL always starts up pretty weak

people say its the fuel pump though and u should leave the key in accessory (II) before u start it up

 

I'm surprised you didn't relocate yours to the trunk Accuratein like so many guys do with competition stereos and such...especially considering how bad it is to get it out with the SC, ouch!
