Some Acura TSX owners report experiencing issues with their battery not holding a charge, often requiring a jump after just 24 hours of parking. This problem may stem from the age of the battery, which can diminish its ability to retain a charge over time. Additionally, a faulty alternator might fail to properly charge the battery while the vehicle is running. Owners also note that bad connections or corrosion on the battery terminals can hinder the charging process. Parasitic drains, which are electrical loads drawing power from the battery when the car is off, are another potential cause of battery drain. Extreme temperatures can further impact battery performance, while insufficient charging due to a malfunctioning charging system may also contribute to the issue. To resolve these concerns, it is advisable for owners to check and clean battery connections, test battery health, inspect the charging system, recharge the battery, and verify the alternator's functionality.
