That kind of explains why each time I take it to Acura of Boston, the first thing they do is pop the hood and test the battery, even if you come in for a flat.

No problem with ceramic. In fact that is one of the reasons they came out with it.

I don't know why this is such an issue. YOU have a bad battery. If you want to confirm it, when the car wont start, check the battery voltage. It will be below 12.5V. I did not read your first post or I could have told you this awhile back. If you want take you battery to auto zone and have them perform a free load test. It will fail.

Service Dept called me today after receiving my email and videos over the weekend and they "think" i have bad/damaged/loose wiring to the battery. They feel so bad they are coming to pick up my car tomorrow at my house. We'll see how this goes

Glad it got fixed but damn that would kinda scare me about the service dept. Its like a check enigne light comes on check the gas cap. Battery not working right check the connectors. At least they fixed it I guess they had to get the master tech out for that one.

You have GOT to be kidding me!!!! Well, serves them right to go through all that expense of picking up your car, etc.

I would a little cautious of bringing your car back to them for *any* service!

BTW, what dealer is this?
