Car made whining noise during startup and idle. Check charging system light displayed on dash. Battery check indicated dead battery. Battery replaced under warranty through advance auto parts. Charging system light still on dash after battery replacement. This is the second alternator in the car. The original was making a whining noise and was replaced with an autozone branded one duralast as a preventive measure. Work was done by pep boys and a denso unit was used this time. Honda uses denso from research. Car runs great now. With more electrical items on newer cars a dying or dead battery will overwork the alternator and can cause it to fail. Going fwd I will check battery health regularly. | ||
