Hello. I have an 03 LX 230k that I’ve had for a couple months. I replaced the battery when I bought it with an Interstate 27F from Costco. I didn’t have any issues with the original battery but it was old and bulging a bit so I wanted to play it safe.
I was out of town and didn’t drive it for about 2 weeks and the battery was dead. I was only getting about 2.4 on my multimeter so I pulled it and took to an auto parts store to check it out. They felt, as I did, that it had a bad cell. Costco’s return policy is very easy so I’m back and running and things look good now.
I assume this was just a defective battery since it was just a month or 2 old but is there anything I should check? I plan to just check it once a week and see if I’m dropping. It never had any power or starting issues and the gauge always seemed correct. It’s fully stock besides the Grom Bluetooth adapter.
