I am thinking that it was a bad batch of batteries if it is happening to others with similar car #'s.

I have a new battery now but it is raining too much today. I will be going for a long ride tomorrow so after, I should know if the new battery is a fix for the problem.
Took mine out today for a 45 minute sort out run it a bit yesterday also....Fired right up each and every time. I am with you....probably a bad batch of batteries.

Jay, mine was dead from the time we recieved it and had to put an overnight charge on it to get it to go. Not a starter issue according to my engine builder as the new 1200 cranking amp Odyssey looks to be doing the trick.
