Some Acura MDX owners report experiencing battery issues, particularly when the battery dies within 45 minutes after a jump start. These problems may stem from the overall health and capacity of the battery prior to the jump, as a battery in poor condition may not hold the charge effectively. Additionally, some owners find that if their battery loses charge quickly after being jumped, it may indicate the need for a replacement, especially if other issues like a faulty alternator have been ruled out. Proper maintenance is also highlighted, as regular checks and care can significantly extend battery life. Furthermore, after a jump start, it is recommended that owners run the engine for at least 20 minutes to ensure the battery recharges adequately. If the battery continues to die rapidly, it may suggest deeper issues, such as a bad cell or electrical problems, necessitating thorough testing and diagnosis to address these underlying concerns.
