2001 TL battery
Has anyone experienced early battery failure in a 2001 TL? Mine is on it's 4th battery and has 93,000 miles. The last battery (none have been cheapies) lasted less than a year. Since new, the car has been consistently driven 12-15,000 miles/year in normal service, has had all maintenance at an Acura dealer, and has no signs of electical problems. Thanks!

That's not normal, unless you are just being unlucky and keep on getting bad batches of batteries. Each battery should last at least 4 years or so. Have you had your alternator checked?
