So there is obviously something wrong with my car. My car needs to be jumped if it sits for more than a day or 2! I had autozone test my battery and he said my battery is fine, but the battery is atleast 3 years old or more. So can he be wrong and maybe I do need a new battery? The car starts up fine each time without being jumped if I keep driving it everyday, but when it sits for more than a day or two, I hear a repeating clicking sound when I try to start it, but no start. Im at 66K miles

 

I would buy a new battery.

 

Buy a new battery

 

ok, thanks guys. I had a feeling that autozone guy was wrong. Some tell me new alternator, but I doubt that

 

what places are good to buy a new battery at? And what kind/type is best for my application so I dont get ripped off and end up buying something expensive I didnt need? I do have a sound system, amp and enclosed sub in the trunk. My mods are CAI/H/E and eventually VAFC2, if that helps any

 

Autozone can test your alternator too I believe.

 

Get a new battery


Its not the alternator, when Your alternator stops working the car will continue to run on the battery until it dies, But since you can jump it and drive around with no problem the alternator still works.

It also could be that you might have left something on like the map light or some other electronic device.

Do yourself a favor stay away from places like auto zone and advance auto, The people working there are NOT MECHANICS and most dont know there ass from there elbow.

Ps: I've been a Tech going on 8 years now, if this doesn't help take it to HONDA

Ive always used Diehard Batterys and dont waste your money on Interstate or cheap parts house brand batterys

Diehard Giold is 85$ at SEARS

 

very helpful, thanks! I'll probably hit up Walmart down the street for a diehard

 

Actually I've had excellent service from Interstate batteries, just have not used one in a S2000.

 

Die Hard Gold. Warranteed for 5 years. Can't go wrong there.
