Mine does, It's gotten soo bad, my car was running fine 24hours ago. and now, just from sitting, the battery is DEAD! this is a normal occurance. only lasts 24hours? wtf?

so, i'm stuck in a small town and can't get home because of my dead battery. how do i get in touch with honda. do we have 24hr roadside assitance?

Do you have any aftermarket stereo equipment? I do not believe that honda has road side assitance.

sounds like an alternator problem, or you need to get a higher amped alt.

well i bought a new battery, and i haven't had any problems. So can i warranty my old battery now?

I do have some audio. but right now i'm only running a small 2 channel amp and components up front, shouldn't be a problem. I have had more stereo in the past however. 500watt class A/B Phoenix gold amp for sub and 75x2 for my components was the most power i've used.

i had the same problem and the high amp alternator actually did not work. however, the optima yellow top battery solved everything!!! or maybe the combination of both helped?

I have never had a problem with my battery. I have Neon a four channel and a 2 channel in the car and an alarm. Haven't had a problem yet. Oh yeah I left my lights on at work oe day and the battery died. But my fiance came with the Accord and jumped it. I drove around for a little while and everything was fine.
