If a new battery is not properly maintained and is allowed to go dead, it greatly affects the battery?s long-term life, which can lead to unnecessary battery replacement and customer complaints. If a battery sits in a discharged state in hot weather (above 80°F), the electrolyte is closer to water.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10115829-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/MC-10115829-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10115829","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"battery","name":"12-volt battery","parent":"electrical"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"HONDA","model":"HONDA","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
