Hello,

I drive a 2000 honda accord and recently bought a battery to replace the one that i have, but ever since i replaced the battery, the car had died on me twice while driving and turns back on..... One time i had to have the car jump started in order for to drive it. I'm guessing the battery is not charging the alternator sufficiently.

Sidenote: The salesperson over at Midas told me that he did not have the recommended battery for my vehicle but instead had the one for the 4 cylinder accord..... The car has not given me any problems till recently and it's been about 3 weeks since i replaced it.

Get both the battery and alternator load tested this will tell the trouble between the 2.
