I assume you got your battery from your Honda Dealer? The reason I ask is our local Honda dealer had a bad batch of batteries lately. They told me this when I bought my wife's 07 Recon three weeks ago. Also had this same starting problem on my 02 Ozark. Suzuki replaced three batteries in 5 months. The fourth one I bought from Wal-Mart in November of 02 and is still holding strong. I asked two Honda mechanics today and they think you got another bad apple battery.
