I havent had a problem with the alternator they put in.....ALTHOUGH, since relocating to Sin City, I had a local Honda dealer here do an oil change for me last month, and they told me my BATTERY needed replacing.....I kind of ignored it, but now this is what is happening:

If I PUMP my stereo system while the car is on battery or auxilary (not running) while waiting for someone to come out of a store, or whatever, with my windows down, the car will not start unless I give it some gas and hit the accelerator pretty hard while trying to crank the ignition.....otherwise the car wont crank over or start. This just started RECENTLY and ONLY happens when I run the car on battery and REALLY REALLY crank my bass.....so, I am thinking, the dealership was probably right and my battery is on the way out......
