by definition are high cycle designs to begin with in modern vehicles. I agree with rocky and my guess is it will go well past 100K miles, even if you always leave auto start/stop enabled.ĪC compressors and their control systems. according to a few owners who have checked.Īs for the starter itself. Honda charges quite a bit more for them than other batteries too.
so it is clearly a new derivative in the market. Hard to find the battery actually sold anywhere yet. It behaves more like a deep cycle battery (ie: lower CCA, thicker plates, impervious to the usual sulfation effects of an undercharged battery state). The battery in the hybrid, which will see a lot more engine cycling on/off during it's life span, is essentially a derivative of a commerical tractor battery, from what I can gleen looking it up on the internet. An H5 is similar to Group 24, but with a different physical profile. It has been in the Accords with the 1.5T since the gen10 Accords released. the H5 is a solid battery and will handling the extra burden quite well. Honda put a very robust starter battery in the Hybrids, and the big H5 starter battery in the 2020 1.5Ts.įor the 1.5T engine. There is no setting to permanently disable it. It must be disabled at each fresh start and drive cycle on the part of the owner.
Newcar that shuts off at stop and starts right backup driver#
the driver can disable this feature if they choose. I wen to Audi, they replaced a sensor or two, a new car starter and still nothing. will components ever fail in the normal useful years of a 2020? Other than the random early failure any part could suffer on any given vehicle. When I start the car, the engine starts and as the RPM gauge goes up, it just goes right back down, the car shutss off, as if it can not stay on, sometimes its starts, but 95 of the time it needs more than 3, 4 times to try until I ge tit going, sometimes 6-8 tries. probably some additional but the real question is. So that part takes care of itself.Īs for wear and tear, yeah. the engine will not auto-stop as long as the climate control senses the need for the AC to be active. And for the hybrids, Honda actually put a commercial tractor style battery in them, with low CCA, robust plates and large reserve capacity (essentially looks and acts like a deep cycle battery). Finding the cause of the problem takes experienced troubleshooting skills and a working knowledge of your vehicle’s air, fuel, and electrical systems. So other than modern vehicles putting a lot more demand on starter batteries in general, I don't see this being a problem. Click to expand.Honda put larger batteries in the 2020s, most likely to account for the added demand.
