Finally got mine....
I picked up my car from the dealer this morning where they have replaced my battery pack under warranty. My car is a 2001 with 109,408 miles and I've owned it since Feb. 2004. The car sat quite a bit (not 100%) between Dec. 18, 2009 and Feb. 20, 2009 due to snow and waiting for me to do the 105k mile service and I think that put it over the edge. Very recently, the charge indicator would go to 2 bars, charge to 1/3 and then quickly go to 100% so I thought it was coming. The codes that Honda put on the ticket were P1600 and P1449. I dropped the car off on Tuesday morning (with no appointment), they looked at it Wednesday and it was ready on Friday night. My only complaint was that they were a bit sloppy in putting the carpet back in place.
One last note - my mileage "seemed" to drop on the past few months, but I also needed an alignment and I had not been doing a good job of checking my tire pressures so I cannot say for sure that it was the battery.
Sort of feels like I won the lottery......
