Problem with Odyssey Battery..

I have a Odyssey battery PC680(I believe, thats just off the top of my head). It died last night, and when I jumped the car it worked fine(so obviously the alternator is fine), until I stopped. When I turned the car off, the turbo timer didn't even stay on, it just shut off and was completely dead.

I went to jump it with and Integra, and it wouldn't start. When hooked up the the Integra, if I even hit the unlock button the Integra would bog down. This morning, I used a Lincoln MKZ and it fired right up, but once I stopped, I had the same problem and it just completely died.

I took the battery out, tightened the terminals, and hooked it up to a battery charger. It never left the zero mark.

Any help would be great. Is the battery fried?

how long have you had it? Take it to an auto store to see if it can be recharged.

I had the same problem with my harley and it wouldn't take a charge again and it was over the 2 year warranty so I had to buy a new one The pc680 in my GSX is still going strong! do you let the car sit for long periods of time? if you do get a battery tender and the battery should last alot longer

Thanks guys. I'll take it to autozone or something similar when I get back to town.

The longest the car ever sits is a few days to a week at a time, but that is even rare.

i actually just had my pc680 die on me after I let the car sit for a week. I didn't even have enough charge to use the power locks. I bought a battery tender and a spare battery so I can always have one charged up and ready to roll. The battery that died was fine after I charged it btw.
