My Odyessy had sulfated and acted the same way until I bought a smart charger which will automatically provide desulfation during maintenance charging. If lead/acid look for dead cell. Good luck

Thx - it is a relatively new gel (AGM) battery. I say relatively new as it has an A16 (January 2016) date code and was not used before installing in my car last month. It seems to take a charge and has plenty of amps to crank the car. But it is clear that the car is running off the battery alone - the longer I drive the lower the voltage gets.
