I have a crx and the car upon first time starting up is fine but after it turns on quite slow... the battery is new, but like it struggles to turn on.. any inputs on this... its almost as if it had no battery...

That is a tiny motorcycle sized battery that needs to charge after starting.

I have one in my race car and its plenty strong enough for everyday use.
Check the voltage coming out of it.. should be close if not above 13v.
If your experiencing a drain you have a charging problem, (alt)
Have that tested.
Lastly check for a ground issue.
Check your ground leads from the battery, transmission to the chassis.

Thanks

I have a ground kit too so in regards to grounds, I have all grounds running to the grounding kit base where all ground wires go to.. Should I still put a ground from tranny to chassis or is that good enough?

My ground set up is as follows:

The BASE is bolted right next to the passenger side motor mount (on the actual metal part that supports the mount theres a threading there where the OEM battery bracket bolts opn to).
From the battery to that base I have one wire..
Then from the BASE I have one to where you bolt the ESS on the tranny

one to where the hasport tranny conversion top bracket goes,
one to the alternator
one to the throttle cable bracket
Then I have one that goes from the power steering side to under the radiator resovoir...

I also have a chassis ground going to the neg on the battery too idk if the battery should have only one wire..

Thanks for help...

Start checking them all to see if one is loose.
Id reground the tranny to chassis thats one of the main ones on a honda.
(Alt )check to see if its working .. take it to your local parts store and see if its working correct.
Pull the one from the battery see if it helps.

at this point the grounds is what i can play with because that alt wont come off unless i remove the intake manifold since im running b series and theres no space to remove just the alt...

im going to re ground the tranny to chassis one... thanks...

Unfortunately you have to get under the car (ramps) to get the alt out.

The pc680 was not designed for everyday street car use. Its mostly used for track cars that needed to be started run down the 1320 and back in the pits. Its become race car street cool to have one. If you are running alot of aftermarket electronics, ie, amps, alarms, gps or accsories. You will end up killing the battery and running the car off the alternator. Inturn burning out the regulator.

You can help the start issues buy doing a big three upgrade and cleaning up your grounds.
