I have a 2016 Honda HRV So a couple of days ago I had to get a jump start because my car wouldn't start. After that I drove for a while at least a half hour I turned off my car I got back in about 10 minutes later I started it up and I took off I got maybe 10 miles away I stopped at another place turned off my car came back 10 minutes later my car wouldn't start so I had to call for a jump. I just put in a new battery a year not even a year and a half ago. I went to AutoZone they did a test on my battery my starter and my alternator they are all fine. I've cleaned off my battery cables the post everything I went on Amazon I bought a self jumping starter pack. Every time I've gotten into my car today I've had to jump my car. And then this evening when I went to back it out of the driveway and turn my wheel my radio turned off the brake system light came on and I felt a little jolt in the steering column. Whatever it is a lot of people are using the auxiliary mode has had some issues with their battery and the lights on their dashboard. I got my car back in 2016 about a year later a CD got stuck in my CD player the buttons on the radio stopped working only the dials work so I just left it alone but when I originally had to jump start my car the first time some of my button started to work again like the axillary mode so I used my phone to play some music after that it's been having to jump myself every time and the problem with when I go to turn my steering wheel my radio will turn off and that braking system light will come on. Has anyone else had this problem? If so do you have a solution?

Make sure that your battery manufacturer is Penn State Battery. They make Duracell and Presently Honda batteries. 99.9% lead is used in these batteries. The new replacement Honda offers comes with a ten year/ 100,00 mile warranty. They knew that 2016-2018 models needed battery replacement.Not to worry about later years.

Request the new 10 year battery, not the 30 month.
Aftermarket and factory are different even though they are both classified as OEM

I bought a Duracell at Sam's which carries the best specs for the price. They install it at no cost. A year later it holds up to demand quite well.
Duracell is made by the top battery manufacturer, Penn National

Well, what is peace of mind worth to you?
I recently retired from 30 years of fleet work. We had Motorcraft Delco,and Fleetrite 10 year batteries make it past their rated lives
Cheaper than buying 3-4 units in the same period .
Batteries are a science and must be engineered for their particular use.

Cheap is as cheap does . Sam's has top rated units and free installation.
Their vendors keep them fresh and rotated.

Honda stopped doing business with them several years ago. Problems started with the 2016 - 2018 batteries of a different source.
To remedy the problem, Honda offered a 10 year 100,000 mile unit for $125.00. These are made by East Penn Manufacturing.
