Battery almost made it 11 months

[jlamb30]

Yep, died two days shy of 11 months.

Went out to start it yesterday... nope! Measured 10.4 volts. Charged it this morning enough to start it, then checked the voltage while running - 14.55 volts, so I knew it was the battery, and went straight to my dealership. I was hoping to be one of the lucky ones to have a battery last longer than two years, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Damn only 9,000 miles? I have a 2019 Si and it has 40k miles, but I bought the car used at 17K. No battery issues yet but i noticed that after I started up my car today the first 30 sec the voltage was at like 13 and then gradually went up to 14.4-5. is that normal?

You ever have the accessories running with the car off? Like out on lunch breaks ?

As soon as your alternator starts spinning, it should be putting out ~14.4 volts. If the battery is on the weak side, it 'might' take a few seconds to catch up if measuring from the battery posts.

Never.

I think the lowest my car has ever seen was like.. 31? I've seen bits of snow here. Absolute lowest I've ever seen it here was mid-high 20s.

Edit: on the other side of the coin, my car's seen 120 here, absolute highest I've seen was 127

Mine is from May 2017 and still going strong.

Never.

How often do you drive the car? Does it sit for long periods?

 

[jtrader]

Mine lasted about 15 months. I got stranded in BFE when it died and to say I was pissed @ honda is an understatement. I said F-it and went out and bought the best battery I could. I think it's a 5 year deal. Damn POS isn't stranding me again!!! Well, not until 2025 anyway.

Every weekday to and from work, lunch, etc., and less on the weekends, but occasional road trips.
