Boought my MY03 lil over a month ago and im wondering, since battery life in hot climates in lower, decided to investigate my battery. Its a Diehard Gold, im wondering if the original owner replaced it or could this have come from Honda? The car slightly shudders a bit when i hit the start button, so thats what peaked my interest.

 

Get an Optima Yellow top and forget about it.

 

OEM battery is a Panasonic.

 

hmmm, thats what i thought i read...so the previous owner did replace the battery. Wonder why the car slightly shudders (even after its been running for awhile) when i start it up.

 

OEM battery is Panasonic, Diehard Gold is after-market battery.

 

Ask yourself this .............................
Why would Honda of Japan put a Sears Diehard into any of their cars at the factory?

 

Sears?? American??? U sure???

 

I hope you're just kidding because if you aren't, you must have been born yesterday. Sears, Roebuck and Co. is an American institution going farther back than you can possibly remember. Have a good read:

somebody didnt pick up my sarcasm...i asked just to make sure, i thought i read it was panasonic, but just wanted to double check...ive been surprised by some things on this car, so im not assuming anymore.

 

In this case, I needed that clarification. There have been an awful lot of really gullible people on this forum lately. Take the April Fools Day joke about the end of the S2000 for example. This forum went nuts with people actually believing this.
