I'm a little embarrassed to be posting a problem this soon, but here goes....
I bought a beautiful polished metal '09 EX earlier TODAY and have a question concerning the battery. After a pretty quick purchase process, we went out to dinner to celebrate. Since I'm a careless idiot I left the headlights on! I guess I'm used to driving a car with an automatic light option, but no excuses...
After only an hour and a half at dinner, the battery had died. Some local firefighters had jumpers and totally saved our asses, but I was a bit surprised by the life of the battery. We drove around for a while and kept the car running for 40 minutes or so. Since jumping it, the car has started fine.
My question is, should I be concerned about the battery? Usually it takes way longer than 1.5 hrs of headlights on to kill a battery right (I've done this before ; ). Should I have it checked out? replaced?
Thanks for your help!
