Alright, looks like there's probably something wrong with my car after all, it's a 1994 Acura Legend GS. I got it not too long ago in January for about $7200. It has about 134k on her. She rides well, and is excellent condition. About 2 weeks after I got her the battery would drain, it had an undersized "interstate" battery. I kept boosting it with another battery, charging it. If it was still for 24hours+ it would drain completely again. So about 2-3 weeks ago I went out an got me a proper size DuraLast battery with full 2yr warranty. Says 7year on the battery itself.
Well guess what, today I go out, try to turn on the car, no go. I turn the key and the dashboard makes a "fluttering" noise. The lights blinks, no crank. Windows roll down ULTRA slow. Checked all the accesories everything was off when I attempted to turn it on... the only that was on was maybe the factory alarm...
What do you guys think, something draining the battery (what??) or bad alternator (I'm guessing $600+ to get a new one in eh?)... I never got any low-batt warnings while driving the car. I had just used it yesterday everything seemed fine!
Gonna WALK to my dad's work and bring back his car (90 Legend) and try to boost it off of that battery to see if it goes on....
