'05 Accord Battery

I hate to break it to you, but when I purchased my 2007 Accord in
February, they had to replace the battery BEFORE I took delivery of the
car! Batteries go bad and some will last longer whereas others will die
a horrible death way sooner than the warranty.

 

Be Careful! Had the same trouble with my 98 Accord, which I bought brand
new. I saw that the green wasn't showing, so I ran it up to the Honda
dealer.
Tech looked at it and said ,Aw shit, another one! I didn't like that
sound...he said
the positive post is leaking, and if I try to loosen it. the post will break
out, and acid
will spill out, into the engine area. They emptied the battery, and sure
enough, the post
twisted off! They replaced it with a Interstate battery. The original
battery was a GM
Freedom battery. I Googled ,it and found out that they had trouble with
them, at tht time.

It's been many years since I was to Wash., D.C., but I really enjoyed
the museums there.

I believe you are mistaken. A "Limited Lifetime Warranty", at least for
Sears Diehard Gold is . The first 36 months is a totally free replacement,
followed by prorated coverage, which is based on the percentage of use that
you have gotten from the battery. At least that was the warranty when I
worked there several years ago. BTW Sears Diehard Gold and Interstate are
both manufactured by Johnson Controls to specifications set by the retailer.

In that case it's all your fault.

I'll bet! I go up to NYC sometimes to visit relatives, but not in Harlem.
Never been there but always pictured it as a rough place. Then again I
thought the same of the Bronx until I was at a restaurant in a really nice
section of the Bronx. Forgot what it was called..

They are nice. I've always like the Air and Space Museum and the Natural
History Museum. Took my bike down there and rode with friends along the
Potomac, Georgetown and into D.C.

Oh, thanks (said with a sarcastic tone)... lol

I didn't know Interstate was also manufactured by Johnson Controls. I
remember Die Hard was, and they switched to Exide. Quality went down and
they went back to Johnson Controls...

Harlem is an up and coming community. It is being gentrified. Harlem and
parts of the Bronx are the closest communities in NYC to downtown
Manhattan that can be redeveloped into better housing. There are some
really nice areas of the Bronx. Harlem is turning into a nice shopping
district on 125th St., the main east-west road, where the Famous Appollo
theater is. A bunch of stores have moved in, including an H&M store (I
think a chain of clothing stores) & a Magic Johnson Theater. A Trader
Joes is coming, too (there's one in Union Square and one in Brooklyn
too). And there are some good schools there (some NYC dept. of ed
schools and some are charter schools) and some bad schools. In addition,
Columbia University is there and City College (the public college with
the most Nobles) is there as well. Sadly, the poor kids there are
treated as throw-away kids by the city when it comes to education (the
teachers' union doesn't do much to help either).

In my college years, I went there every year or so. Maybe I will try the
bike thing sometime.
