I just wanted to see if anyone had this problem or found a fix for this issue.

Me and my dad purchase a 2008 CRV/AWD brand new at the same time. When we went to pick it up. There is only 1 thing I noticed different about the 2. When you start it up, my crv starts up perfect. The other Crv(dad) started up sluggish/slow, as if the battery was low. In 2009 I had the battery checked by Honda and they replaced it. I am not convinced it the battery, cause til this day, its still starts sluggish and I had the battery replaced again in 2010. Now in 2012, its acting up again.

There is no draw on the Crv.

Could it be that a stronger battery is required? CCA?

Any thoughts?

 

does his battery have the same CCA as yours? or less? more? could be a poor connection from the battery to the starter. Id try running a booster cable just to find out. Could also be a ground issue. Try the boosters from the block to the negative on the battery as well.

 

I know its been a long time.

CCA are the same. My neighbor also has the same issue with his 2007 CRV.
