thanks for any help

I think Walmart and Auto Zone and those places will replace batteries for free. Why DIY?

[bigheadfred]

Just take it out and put the other one in.

[timlilje]

Oreilly does it here for free too!!

I wouldn’t think there would be any more issues than if you left the lights on and ran it down entirely.

[InvisibleChurch]

To save labor costs. If they do it a n/c then my question may be irrelevant. Thanks ... So far

Clock and radio are it. I’ve had CR-Vs for some time now.

Make sure you know the security code for the radio. You will need to enter it after a battery change.

Thats what i thought as well, just concerned if there’s an issue w an onboard computer, if there is one.

"I think Walmart and Auto Zone and those places will replace batteries for free."

AND you don't have to futz around with getting rid of the old battery. It's a consideration in these days of EPA tyranny.

Radio and clocks are it. My radio holds its programming due to EPROM or flash module. Clock too.

Only thing I have to re-do is the analog clock.

I went to honda.com forum, garage section, they wanted to chg me 19$ for ananswer.

Take it to Autozone or one of those places. They’ll replace it as part of buying a battery and you won’t have to pay the core charge.

Get a good battery. A bad battery can leave your wife stranded.

Put a charger on the cables before you change it, and nothing will be lost.

Pretty sure old Ted Baxter doesn’t spin wrenches. Bit of a prissy pinhead

[InvisibleChurch]

Any particular brand?

[Kakaze]

Change it before your wife is sitting somewhere, madder than a hornet.

Trust me change it now:)

WARNING: Do NOT do this on your own!

You will have to manually reset your coffee maker, toaster oven and each LED light. Plus, you will have to use LifeLock to protect your credit report and identity.

Unless you have the ability to program in LINUX, do not do this!
Unless you have a basic understanding of Argentine Tango, don’t try it on your own.
Unless you are multi-lingual, I warn you not to do this on your own.

It is a Japanese car. It may also have radiation exposure from the Fukishimo reactor. You will endanger your life.

Not really sure one brand, don’t get a Advanced Auto Parts brand. I had two of those and they both went bad in 6 months. (hence the don’t go cheap part).

Autozone brand has worked fine.
