Two new batteries, won't hold charge

I have a 91 Honda Accord. In may I put a new battery in it. In Oct it wouldn't start and I bought another new battery. I just took it to a garage and had everything tested. They said I must have bought to junk batteries, because everything tested fine. Isn't this quite a coinsidence to have bought two new batteries at different places and they both lasted 4 months? Any suggestions?

I would Check the Belt Tensioner. If the Belt Tensioner is Not Holding the Belt Tight Enough it will not allow the Alternator to Charge the Battery and will result in the Dead Batteries. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

91 honda accord won't start sometimes-battery, a/c, starter?

Your tempermental starting problem could be the park neutral safety switch . They get worn inside an cause this type problem . Next time it won't start place gear selector into neutral an see if it starts then . The cooling running problem is probably the cooling fan timer module . From the diagram it's hard to say which side the A/C condenser fan is on. The A/C fan has blue with yellow stripe wire in the connector along with a black one . I would also suggest you have a qualified repair shop do a voltage drop test on the starting circuit .

With the engine running are you getting any voltage off the alternator? check with a multimeter. Check voltage at battery while running should be 13 volts or more.

If you manage to get it started, check the alternator output...I'm betting it is bad. Should be making no less than 12.5 with accessories all on, 13.5 to 14 with just engine running. Bad alt can drain battery even when off depending what failed inside it. Towing with a chain is not really a good idea. the cross pin in those differentials are not very good and can fail.

Charging problem

Possible solution. It could be the belt tensioner. It might not hold the belt tight enough to have a consistent charge to the battery through the alternator. I had to replace the one on my 91 accord and that solved my problem.

Engine problem

Check your battery. Flip up the red cover on the positive side of the battery and inspect the battery post for corrosion. If you see a white buildup, remove the cables and clean the terminals with a wire brush. Remove the covers from the top of the battery and check the acid level. If the level is low add distilled water. Put the battery on charge at low amperage for a few hours. If the battery does not hold the charge, you will have to replace it.

PS: If you disconnect the battery cables you will need to reset your radio. Honda provides a 5 digit code to reset. If you bought the car new it came via mail on a small card.
