Starts fine even in -4F weather. Will probably swap it this year with another OE battery as oddly i have better luck with OE batteries and they tend to be cheaper than Autozone/Orielys/Advanced.
2017 got a new battery in 2023 before winter, didn't have a no start issue but figured it was time. Went with a dealer battery, was only $138ish for the 72ah upgrade and replaced it in their parking lot to get the core charge back.
I called roadside and got it installed for 100 dollars 3 months ago.
Best upgrade I did for my fit was upgrading to a 51r battery. Just the other day I left my interior lights on all night and I didn't notice until I went to work in the morning, but it started up no problem.
Update: it was just the battery, everything works fine after replacement and coding/adaptation. No error codes. Thanks everyone
Cells in the battery are probably done. Happened to my wife\u2019s accord. Said the battery was fine and wouldn\u2019t charge because she barely drives it since she works from home and recommended we get a battery tender. Come to find out the charge of the battery was fine but the cells were dead which is why it wouldn\u2019t charge. Time for a new battery.
I have gone through two batteries already. They seem to only last 3-4 years on this car - at least in my experience.
I’ve had my id3 5 years now and had very few problems with the car or charging. I’ll get maybe 180 miles on the motorway but close to 240 miles cross country. Manchester to Sheffield to Nottingham and back to Manchester left me with around 50 miles range, but I can’t get from Manchester to London, or Manchester to Glasgow without charging.
That happened to me when the battery was dying. The Honda OEM batteries suck.
I did have to buy a new battery because the OEM was leaking, but other than that, the vehicle has been great.
