I recently purchased an 06 TL from an Acura dealer. I didn't drive the car for a few days and noticed that the clock lost some time. My other cars have maintenance free batterys and I have never had this problem. The Acura battery seems to be an old style battery that requires maintenance.

My question is, should I try to add water or electrolite to the battery, or just replace it with a maintenance free battery? It is a certified car, but I doubt that the battery is covered under the warranty.

 

the TL battery has been known to have issues, and i personally had mine replaced under warranty.

 

give it a shot first, they might replace it for you....if not then yes, get a decent replacement....mine went bad during the first 10 months....i took battery out and brought to dealer and they gave me a new one

 

crap battery but great warranty. get it exchanged at the dealer.
