10th Gen Honda Accord | Signs of a bad battery 

Thanks for this video because I def had a panic attack when all those random warnings popped up when my car did finally decide to start. It’s wild how everything but a “battery light” pops up. Will be checking my battery

My daughters car did the "dashboard display" this morning. I had no idea those lights were a tale/tale sign of a low battery. Thanks for the video. Getting her a new battery tomorrow

Very very helpful thank you keep making this great video!!! It made me realize Honda wasn’t scamming me

Thank you for the video..I am just now experiencing this issue while watching your video. I was starting to freak out and call a tow company..My dash board definitely just showed those warning signs

Thank you so much for this video! I was definitely freaking out because of the random warning lights that flashed in the last 3 days. The warnings say exactly what you showed. I don't know why the maintenance indicator doesn't send warnings about the battery. Smh 👎🏽

Excellent video Dan👍

THANKS, I LEARNED THE HARD WAY, WENT TO THE CARWASH LEFT THE CAR, WHEN I CAME BACK IT DIDNT START, AND STARTED TO SHOW ALL THE SIGNALS (BRAKE SYSTEM, POWER STEERING, TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, ETC) ,THERE IS NO INDICATOR OF THE CHARGE OF THE BATTERY ANYWHERE!!!!, I REALLY TOUGHT THEY MESSED UP MY CAR AT THE CAR WASH AND WAS PRETTY MAD AT THEM. IT JUST LASTED 30 MONTHS (20k MILES) THATS WHY I DIDNT THINK IT WAS THE BATTERY. I PUT A BRAND NEW ONE AND ITS RUNNING LIKE A NEW CAR, 2019 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID (LOVE IT) AWESOME CAR.

Great Video! My 2.0t was starting rough. Finally died when I got done pumping gas lol I had about 42k miles on it.

Grear video. My 2020 Accord would not start and the dash was fully lit up with all kinds of warnings as you showed in the middle of your video. Had it up and running in a couple of hours. Metered the battery and it was reading below 12 VDC. Took out the battery and brought it to Auto Zone. They had a dedicated battery tester to confirm it was indeed dead. They run tests for free took less than 1 min. Bought replacement battery. Reinstalled. Car started with some warning lights. Drove 2 miles. Turned car off. Restarted. Back to normal.Your video pointed me in the right direction and saved me time and money. Thanks. God bless.

This is crazy, my car is at 42k miles and my battery is barley starting! I didn't think at this miles a battery would go bad

Thanks for the heads-up! I have the same dashcam with a 22 Touring.

Very helpful, thank you!!!❤

Thank you. I am now encountering all these issues with all the warning signs.

Thank you. I am at Sam's Club right now waiting to get my battery installed

Thanks for the video. I’m thinking about being proactive and upgrading to an Optima.

Thanks for this because I definitely freaked out a year ago when I saw all those lights but it never happened again after that so idk! Definitely faulty

Thank you for this informative video, my 2020 Honda battery died at 22K, will have to replace.

That is what is happening to me right now, I bought my car approximately 4 years and 4 months ago and I have an alarm system install and 2 different dash brands in total (3 cams) in my case I am going to buy the same battery who brought my car wants to say that that battery came out very well I hope to get to the service tomorrow

I had the exact same issue today. Efffing Honda! Thanks for the video.

So this just happened to me at 526xx miles. Good to know it’s a battery issue! I have a 2019 sport 2.0 btw

Recently had to replace mine. My first symptom was failed remote starts. On another note, hope everything is going okay for you. Have not seen any posts from you recently. I've always enjoyed your content relating to the accord X.

Thanks for this info.

Car left me stranded this morning. Never had the signs/warning until this morning when I was going to leave the grocery store, car didn't start and all the dashboard stuff popped up. Jump started the battery to get it going again. Going to take it to the dealer tomorrow.

good video brother! i have the same problem on my 2018 accord and i get the xMass Lights and since putting my new dash cam it would power on and off once i hit the Break pedal. i though it was my dash cam since it also has Parking mode. i got it install in best-buy and i had to make an appoinment with them to get the Parking mode off but thank god i watch this video first. that's what ima do first start with the battery and see if i fix the problem. thanks for the video new sub

I have a 2018 2.0t w/ 58k miles and my battery just died a few days ago.... in the parking lot of an auto parts store! Couldn't have been more perfect. I went in for a silicone license plate frame and came out with a battery and a 10mm wrench... haha!

THANK YOU! 🥲🥲 im GOING nuts! literally going through this right now! Getting my battery checked NEOW!

Great video! My 2.0t was dead to the point where it won’t start but still can turn it on to ACC. Good thing it was still under warranty (3 years/36,000 miles) so Honda replaced it for free. They said they found a bad cell. What surprised me is that the car was less than 2 years old (a little over 30,000 miles) when this happened. I guess I was expecting a little better quality from Honda. Also I googled the problem that I had and there’re many people out there also have the same problem with their Honda cars as well. For people out there, if your car is less than 3 years old/36,000 miles and have this problem. Bring it to Honda and they will replace it under warranty

Hi Dan, Thank you for this video, (2018 Honda Accord Touring Sedan) just last night after dropping someone off at the train station, I pulled away from the parking spot and the following warnings came up: Brake System - Electric Parking Brake System Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem, Adaptive Cruise Control System Problem....I have been on the internet to see what the issues may be and it appeared mostly it was low voltage battery and alot of "DON'T FREAK OUT!" My car is 5 years 7 months old and I have never changed the battery. Such an important component and don't think about it. The car is a rolling laptop so it makes sense it could be the battery. I do have low mileage on the car, about 38,000 miles. Will get a new battery - 48 760 CCA H6-AGM and see how it turns out. Thanks again!!!

It’s surprising to me that the Accord 2018 doesn’t tell you what your car battery percentage is! I’ve had minimal glitches over the past year (2022). Door handle doesn’t unlock, camera shuts off, the front dash shuts down as I’m driving! I’ve had my 2018 since May 2018 and I had no real warning that my battery was about to die. It just did this morning during a snowstorm! Thank goodness for my Dad who left work, bought a new battery and drove to me and changed it🙏🏼♥️ He thinks it’s crazy that these cars don’t warn you and just die out of the blue. Thanks for the video

I got the same dashcam based off your review.. thanks for the heads up... top that brake fluid off homie :)

So mine had all those signs pop up, but when i took it to get a diagnostic it said it was misfires with ignition coils and spark plugs. I replaced them, but now in the morning when my car is cold its about 35 degrees in the morning the car wont gain power it stalls and the ignition light flashes once. I park it and then turn it on later when its warmer and it works, would this also be happening if its the battery?

Had this problem back in March…battery was dead from one day to the next. Car struggled to start was my sign.

I have a 2020 2.0T, was sitting for a few days with the positive cable off. Connected today everything was at first. Went to open the door my interior lights wouldn't come on and the car wouldn't start? I also have a dash cam do I need a new battery?

Hey thanks for this video. I had my 2019 Honda accord sport die on me today after getting gas. Funny thing, the car started but after pulling away from the pump about 20 feet it just died on me. I got all the warning lights that came up and I def thought it was something more serious. But thanks for the video explaining this because this will help people not to freak out.

I was walking away from my Accord Sport SE 2021 today in a parking lot and the car kept talking to me. as I was across the parking lot it was saying "Battery low". I didn't know if was talking about my keyless remote or not. I just purchased this car Nov 2022 from a dealership. It was previously owned it had low mileage though. I added the runner lights inside. So it seems pretty soon to replace the battery. I don't have a dash cam. Is there something that I can turn off that may be sucking the battery?

Thanks

I have a 2020 Honda Civic. I bought it from the dealership it is used but in good condition. I had it for a month and already I started to see random notifications but they go away when I turn the car off then turn it on. Maybe I need to get the battery checked?

I have been getting the brake warning, Active Cruise Control disabled. Plus others. Good heads up though, thank you!

This is good to know. I'm hovering around 43k miles on my 2019 on og battery. I did get those warning lights once last year. Never came back on though on a restart. Thanks. Edit: Battery dead at 51k miles 11/8/22

I have a Honda accord 2022 model - the lights went crazy in my car as well! I didn’t panic because it happened before when I first bought the car-it went away on its on and didn’t return for about a year. This time it wasn’t going away - I had the battery checked. ✅ that did the trick! The lights went away in minutes after I started the car with the new battery - the auto start/stop was also always saying unavailable but I was actually glad it wasn’t on- lol 😂 it’s annoying! Now I need to figure out how to disable that feature 😑

I’ve had a 2021 Honda Accord just less than 3 years now. Less than 13,000 miles and I’m having battery issues. Jump started it 3 times in the last 6 months. Bought a battery charger/maintainer from Advanced Auto Parts after they said my battery was “good” and the SOC was 43%

I have a 19 Civic with the 1.5t. for a week now I've been getting hesitation, knock, and stutter going up hill mostly if I go slow and give it gas. Or even on flat ground around 25mph then step on it. Then tonight I go out to start the car and every light and warning message comes on. Shut off the car, then for some reason I grab my spare fob. Come out to start car again all lights off. Go for a drive everything's fine except for that stupid knock etc at random times when car is under load at certain RPM and speed. It's random. Car just hit 27,000 tonight. I've done plugs, air filter, fresh oil change, checked everything twice. Any ideas? I'm going to first unplug the top 02 sensor and take a drive to see, then I'm going to clean it as well. Either way I'm calling Honda on Monday.

I got no dash warnings. I noticed that someone was "off" though. While walking to my car I usually use my key to automatically roll the windows down. for the past two weeks it's been rolling down just 3 and not all 4. Then around the same time, when I start it it turn over a few before starting up. Fast forward two weeks and I parked and turned off my car to stop into a store. Came back out and the car would not start. I got a jump and then was on my way. A day later I got the battery replaced and it it starts up with no problems and rolls down all 4 windows.

Just got Electric Power Sterling System Assist Problem this morning and my car does turn on but it kinda struggles for a sec and starts so could be the battery?

Thank you so much, I just bought my Honda Accord it’s not starting those same warning lights are coming on so I’m going to get the battery you purchased. Will it start when I replace it? And where did you get it and how much does it cost?

Great info man. U got a link for that dash cam?

i have a 2021 honda accord and this message came up after my car wouldnt start the first time i tryed ,starter system initializing continue driving could this message be a result of a bad battery?

I got those lights I thought it was just because I got it serviced today at Honda. I parked and turned it off to make a phone call and all hell broke loose when I was trying to turn it on. So they were nice and gave me a jump because it was the battery. It’s from 2019 the year of the car is 2020. It’s time to change it out.

Hey Dan, do you consider doing something with the taillights ? Changing them or black out the turning and reverse light spots?

Hey Dan which front bumper lip is that? Can you post a link to where you got it? Also did you have to drill holes on your bumper?

Hey brother i am having the same issues with all the warning lights popping up i clear them all and they are good for a day or so then pop up again. Its stressing me out big time . I changed out the plugs cause i had a misfire but i don't think that was the issue . How do i figure it out .

I got a Honda oc card 20/18 and it said critical failure detected on the dashboard stop when it safe . And from that my car dead.

yooo l got a problem with my 2.0t l just been have the Charging system problem in the dash comple days ago' but l check the volt of my alternador ' is 14.3 volt' l check the fuce they are good' l check the battery volt with out connect with the terminal' to see if the engine still running ' and the engine still ON ' but l dont check the Relay yet

Good to know my mom was freaking out talking about her car breaking already 😂 a 2022 hybrid broken alrdy cmon mom ! We both just learned these cars will always need a new battery thank you boss man ! Be safe

Hey Dan! Hows your interstate battery holding up? Im thinking of swapping mine with the same one you got. Whatchu think?

730 cold cranking amps on the new battery - that's almost double what the Honda battery was - wow!

Yesss I had that too then I tested my battery it was bad then I got a new one it was fine

Thanks but mine 2019 69k miles never had a problem till this morning my remote start it started but when I restarted it it hesitated... never changed the battery tho..

Thanks a lot And What’s the tires size of your car ?

Same car but 2020 model, battery died in little over 2 years, at 62k. It all makes sense now because every now and then “power steering failure” warning would pop up and then go away a second later….

I've the Thinkware u1000 and my 21 touring's battery died a few times but battery will be charged by the time I took the car to the dealer so I have to leave the car on the dealership overnight so in the morning they can test the battery and see it was not good. They ended up replacing the battery since my car was around 8k miles at the time. My car was the one on the showroom so I guess my battery was bad from people just looking at the car and never been run

Buying a Subaru crosstrek or Camry after this lol

What is the blue enclosure with the red cable directly next to your battery? I have a similar setup and am hesitant to replace battery myself without knowing what that is.

​Hey, I started to get those error messages on my dash on Saturday. I have the same camera and the same install (watched your video). I disconnected the camera for now, just to see if it is a battery issue, before spending money on a new battery. I reviewed my camera files, and notice the last recording was on 4/04 and then on 4/23. I assume it has been powering down during the night. I do have it on parking mode. I Got my battery checked on Sunday, and they said it was good. I install my camera about 2 months ago, I'm driving a 2019 Honda Accord. I was wondering if you have seen any issues again after replacing your battery.

My trunk wont open with my fob or the button on my driver side door. Valet switch is on & has power going to it. Do you think maybe this is a small sign? Maybe the trunk has a sensor im not aware of?

The warning I got was, my remote start wouldn't crank,crank slow by the button!!!.. thanks anyway for the warning signs

2.0 t owner here with the same problem lol right before going to soccer ⚽️ 😂

What type of battery for 2017 Honda accord sedan

This battery is smaller than civic si 2014 or bigger?

hey dan i just had same problem last month my dmbs, acc, rdm errors just came on. i have my 2020 accord for 2 years now with 48k miles.. i have a dash cam too! lol u think thats whats causing it? like draining the heck of my battery? anways thanks for the info!

60k miles. 5 times it has died. 2 times dead in the last week. Every time ive checked the battery after the jump it said at 100%. I have it check every time I service the car as well. All test and inspections say the battery and everything else is in excellent condition. Is it just the battery malfunctioning at this stage of its life or can it be possibly something else?

How could my damn honda battery start failing me now, after 4.5 years smh. I have not gotten any warnings but it struggles a bit to start up.

I replaced my battery not to long ago because it was going bad. Now I’m having all them lights come on the acc, power steering , power break ect. But the car starts up perfectly fine every time it’s been going on for about a week now .

Did you have to use anything for memory saving when changing? Had that problem in a VW when I changed my battery one time and had to tow it to the dealership to get it reset.

I have a '19 and noticed my dome lights and dash flicker/click. Gonna be taking it in tomorrow.

This happened to my car the other day I was freaking out but thank god it was just the battery 🪫 random lights would come on …

I’m at 4 years and 80k with me 2018 , my battery’s jus now giving me issues I believe

I’m getting all the lights warning assuming it’s the light what has me concerned is how the engine sounds is that normal?? Never heard it before these lights came on just sounds like it’s very low on power if that makes sense but all my lights are bright not like dimmed

Bro I have 20 Honda Accord hybrid and have vantrue n2pro dash cam hardwired for about 1 month and it went completely dead push button was blinking red and headlights would stay on also doors wouldn't unlock , I'm guessing it's battery ???

I have the same issue. vehicle performs as it should. replaced the battery and my dash still looks like a Christmas tree. HELP

Hey car is looking even lower now are you still using the same springs ? The H&Rs ?

Hi. I started my car after a thunderstorm & acc,lkas, collision mitigation,brake system, high beam,&electrical steering popped up on the dash. Turned the car off & on & drove it 25miles & the lights are still on. The battery was replaced 1yr ago. The alternator 4months ago. Help! What else can i do?

I have these lights coming on for the past couple months gonna get a new battery and try it. How do you also get your lip to stay on? I had one of those and kept falling off

My honda dashboard lit up, dealer mentioned the battery sensor, but i have a feeling it is just the battery, would i be ok just replacing the batt?

My problem is I just got a 2.0 sport and my car started stuttering and now doesn’t work like when I press the push to start it stutters like it’s going to turn on but doesn’t I had my battery switched and don’t know what it is

And i do have a dash cam but shuts off with car its plugged in all night thru the lighter area

Well heres a story for you. I bought a 2019 Accord sport 2.0T 1 month after i got it my honda battery took a turn. Car did not want to turn on at all. Went to my local autozone and picked up a battery. Swapped it. Everything was great. 6 months later. I noticed my electric power steering would fail while i park makes the steering hard as a rock but the car would run fine normally. Took it to honda they told me my battery was bad. They warranty the battery and took out my autozone one and put in another honda one. That fixed all my problems. 6 months later my dash is a Christmas tree and a funky smell in the car. I pop the hood. The honda battery i got new 6 months ago is spitting acid . Car was not drive able. Ran to autozone got a duralast battery and threw away the honda piece of shit battery car was fine . 6 months later … to now. A few nights ago my car started to act funny no electronic steering infotainment was blinking . I would put my car in reverse to back into my garage and the car would roll forward. I didn’t think it was my transmission because these 10AT are literally bulletproof. The next day i went back to autozone and got that Duralast gold 730CCA battery. Came back to connect it car works fine ….. but ….. i hear a bad noise. After a while of looking i notice my alternator was sparking up and wobbling. And it was creating metal shavings all over. It was destroying it self and it blew. Car is parked for a week because no honda parts store has a new alternator in stock because they are backordered. And the stores who do have it wants $800-900$ for it. I bought a low millage one OEM from another 2.0T and a new belt. For $300. Tomorrow i am going to attempt to fix this nightmare. And hopefully fixes my problem …

That’s what happened to me. Died in under 4 yrs. 100% dead one morning.

Is your car stock height if not how’d you get it perfectly that ride height

What if it's the alternator

What about if it chokes when starting?

I had the same dash cam warning. I replaced my battery but now I have a Christmas tree in my dash board. Will it go away the more I drive it or do I need to get Honda to calibrate something?

I have all those issues but my battery is at 91% “good battery “ according to auto zone …. Any other issues?

I was just parked with the car on and all my lights just randomly turned on

Did you need to reset the radio or anything after replacing the battery?

Too late my battery didn’t give me a chance 😂😂. It died without giving me any warning, had to chance it then and there Also are Duracell batteries good ? That’s the one I went with.

#honda ganggg lol! I have a 2015 accord sport!

Replaced mine after 55k miles

I thought batteries were supposed to last longer. I got a 2019 2.0 and the battery started smoking and smelling like sulfur. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm hoping it's just the battery.

I was in my 2018 1.5T lit up like Christmas tree..don't panic it's battery 99.9% ..don't take it to the dealership they will find extra things that is not wrong with car ..most likely you will have 6% life ..
