| My battery failed for the second time in a couple of months and required a jump in order for the car to start. i took it to an acura dealership where they determined that the handsfree link system was electrically faulty and was staying on continuously, whether the car was running or not. hence, there was a constant draw on the battery. to (hopefully) resolve the problem, i had the dealership replace the battery and the handsfree link system. *tr | |||
