Sorry for bringing up a dead thread, is this a tsb? My battery dies almost every week and I want the battery to be replaced coz I read that the evo x is having trouble with the panasonic battery.
If I go to a Mitsubishi dealer, would they just change it out for me?

I believe there is a service bulletin, but it was such a long time ago that I forget the specifics. I too had a Panasonic battery when I bought my car back in 2008, but the dealer replaced it for me shortly after, due to the fact that car was having hard time starting on random occasions. I haven't had any problems since.
Contact your dealer's service department. I know of several other people who had their Panasonic batteries replaced under warranty.

In any case, this problem is hindering me from installing my boost gauge and my wbo2, coz I don't want the dealer to think that those gauges r causing the "drained" battery.
I just want them to change out the battery to the replacement, red-top, and if that battery still "drains", then I'm sure that there is a short or a parasitic drain somewhere. Thing is, I don't have any other mod that would possibly drain it. Electrical side of things, is basically virgin. The mods I have r mechanical and not electrical, ie intake, TBE, uicp.
Is there something I could tell them that would just make them change out the batt?
I'm going to call Mitsubishi Corp and ask customer service if this is a known problem for the evo....coz I already told them that reading on a bunch of evo forums that this is a known problem, but they don't talk the word of forums.
I just want the car fixed so I can install my gauges, and tune it.

I remember the service department doing a battery check. It's been over 2 years at this point, so I am little hazy on the fine details.
I've discussed the problem with the service manager and he took care of the rest. It is a somewhat of a known issue, otherwise why would they offer a Red Top as a replacement for the OEM Panasonic battery?

I always like to change out my battery after 3 years. Sure you could possibly get a lot more years or whatever, but I never wanted to risk something stupid like that. For those driving 2008's, this is the perfect option.
