hi,


when i went in the garage to start my 00 ds, the battery was dead. i boosted it with my car, it started right up and revved up like it should be, but when i unplug the booster cables, it hardly runs on idle and if i touch the gas it bogs real bad... is it because my battery is dead(i'll buy a new one this week) or can it be the rectifier? or any other ideas??


i'm really pissed off cause i can't go ride right now[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

If the battery is not fully charged, the DS will not run very well if at all.

I would replace the battery and that should cure you problems.

 

ok thanks.

i'Ve read about the pc545 battery... can i order it at the honda dealer, ask for an odyssey battery? or at a NAPA store (car parts store in canada lol) it would be cheaper

and how can i check if my rectifier is recharging well?


thanks again!

 

The pc545 on Ebay ship really fast, and they have great prices I paid like $78 and it was at my house 2 days after I purchaed it with no special shipping. Its a place out of Florida

 

yeah but shipping a battery from florida to quebec is gonna cost me more than the battery itself...

 

If you look up the PC545 battery on the manufacturers website, they list a Canadian distributor, I believe in Regina, Saskatchewan. That's where I got mine. I believe that it cost me $125.00 to get it including shipping. If you don't have any luck finding the supplier, I will look for the receipt at home with the companies name.

Sorry I don't know how to post a link. They are in Wisconson, it was $37 to ship to Canada and $92.11 Canadian for the battery.
