my battery is about 3 years old with around 48000 miles. recently, i have been having problems starting the car up, cant turn HID's on without engine being turned on and etc.... not to mention that while i was driving local around 30 mph with cdplayer on, the car shuts down for a second and self recovers right after the second. (this happened twice.)
my question is, should i change my battery or should i charge it? thanks guys.

They did on mine.
My symptoms were losing seat memory and radio settings. You definitely have worse problems than mine. I had no problem in convincing them of this. Someone can correct me, but I think the battery that originally came with my RX had a 4 or 5 years warranty. The newer battery has a 7 year warranty. When I drive up to Texas, I can see the actual factory where they make the battery.

it happened so fast that i dont even remember what happened. all i remember was the cd player turned off by itself, all of the warning lights came on (for a second), the "trac off" light was not on, which was a sign that the car had been restarted because i drove with trac OFF and the only way to have trac on again was to; first manually press the trac button, or second, turn the car off then turn it back on.....
anyway, i hope its the battery and i will bring it to my dealer tomorrow.
