'06 TL starting issue! Please help.
06 acura tl. Recently when I start the car up it takes a little longer to start. Not too long but longer than it used to. Is the battery going to die soon? Should I buy a new battery? Any help appreciated. Thank you.
Also more info it doesn't always take longer sometimes, it's just more frequent now and it doesn't it no matter how long it was sitting without being driven.

Get the battery condition checked at a shop, or use a multi-meter or battery tester if you have one.
While checking the battery voltage, clean the clamp and terminal area of any corrosion and make sure the clamps are tight.
If the battery is more than three years old, it's suspect..
Check for an electrical drain an hour after the car has been shut off. If there is a drain, it's likely a failing HFL unit which is also draining the battery.

Got a new battery and everything's fine. Resetting the radio was a pain.
