stupid IMA battery

[cheesie]

so its been rainin in socal and i thout that was the factor of my I2 been really annoying!
its been a while since i put a group 51 battery and the car actually felt better
but for the last 3 days it goes on regn all the time and on every little tiny hill(even on those where i didnt use to!!!!)

i even did the force regn to help the ima and make it last longer but that didnt work!!

even when its on full battery itll go on regn on everyhill... that worries me it never did that!

i doubt its the rain... the car needs service too... maybe its that??
or should i just put back the stock battery??? or at least for the time i take it to service so honda doesnt know i got a new batt

It's probably because you have been running in the rain with your defroster on, the wipers on, the headlights on, and the stereo blasting. Simply put the greater the load on the 12v battery. the more you will see regen. This theory has been explained numerous times by other INSIGHTERS.
Search.......Search.........Lots of info.

Installing a new battery has nothing to do with your warranty!

Our ima battery only holds .5 kilowatts. I can cause a negative recal by ust turning on both defrosters. Rain makes it harder for the car to move both the rotation of the tires and wheels as well as the hole it punches through the air.

Unless it throws a code, you may want to hook up with willie and see if he will help you balance your pack. Id wait til the weather clears since this is when it first started.
