Have had my 08 Acura TL 3.2 for about 4 years now and the last couple years hsve had some issues with the battery. Replaced the Alt. Last year. Been running well until I got a dead battery yesterday. When I'd try to start, I'd get alot of clicking from the dashboard lights but no actual turn over, Put in a new battery, started right up. Today after driving it a bit, got gas, went to start it up and noticed a sluggish start like the battery was weak again. Any thoughts on where to start? Thanks all

Sounds like the HFL draining battery problem. Do you use the HandsFreeLink? If not you can disconnect it and not worry about it again.

Hands Free Link crap! It happened exactly as you describe it.. swapped batteries, etc etc.. Unhooked that HFL and have not had any issues since then..

Thanks for the replays.
Went to disconnect the HFL and it looks like it's already been disconnected.
Main issue now is that I have a completely dead battery and have no clue where to start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have also heard anecdotal reports of the A/C Compressor Clutch Relay being an issue.

Use multi-meter and check for any draw on battery when car off.
