our 2001 honda needed a jump to start.. the battery checked out fine. i
just ignored it..... so two weeks later it needed a jump to start..
battery checked out fine.... i figured it was time to get a new
battery.. Auto Zone, cost about $39.95 for a new battery, 440 CCA....
with a 1 yr. replacement and then the next 4 yrs. prorated... no big
deal for a battery... its three yrs old..no sense in pushing it.....
just go buy a new battery,...
