Joey may have, I live in the belt area and we have a couple feet of snow that needs to disappear before I even think about putting my ass in the seat.

Possibly tomorrow if I can drop the car to the ground, I'd like to get a feel for the ETD and see if there is some noticeable difference.

my son and I got the car back on the ground after all of the maintenance done over the winter months and I got a drive in today. ETD feels good, no vibrations or unwanted side effects, shifting is great. Nice weather but lots of dirt on the roads, it felt and sounded great though.

Happy to hear you enjoyed your S today and I am just itching to get out but have to wait, stupid snow.

Can letting a brand new battery drain dead kill it from holding a charge?

Don't think so. How did you drain it? Sitting on cold concrete floor? What type of battery is it?

I'm on my second brand new OEM battery now. Left in the car. Alarm on. Lasted about a month with no charging. Went to work on it on Saturday, battery was dead. Threw it on a charger and wouldn't charge past 67%. Checked it this morning and battery is dead again. So brand new battery is no longer holding a charge. Battery or is my car doing something parasitic that's killing batteries?

Damn that's a shame. How old was the first one? Something maybe warranty should cover?

I bought the first one in June I think. Was fine all summer then wouldn't hold a charge after I got it back from the body shop in December. It was there for about 4 weeks. So brought the battery back to Honda and got a new one last month under warranty. Now it's not holding a charge. Strange. Don't even know where to start.

my aftermarket 2way alarm kills my battery after 15-20 days, I just disconnect the battery if I'm not going to be driving for a while
