Twice in the past couple of weeks, my battery has died after leaving the radio on for my boyfriend while I run into the store to get something (3-4 minutes tops). Obviously, I won't be leaving the radio on anymore. But my question is, do I need to replace the battery? Or is this just a quirk with the battery? I do not have any special stereo equipment or anything that would be putting more of a drain on the battery. The car has 40k on it.

 

since you have an 07 and probably the original battery, its about time for a new battery.
Only the dealer sells the 151r, but a 51r will fit, unless you have
an air intake system.

 

You can always have the battery tested, but if its dying after 3-4 minutes odds are you need to replace it. Probably sooner rather than later.

 

I have a 51R in my 07. Cheaper and better than a 151R (factory battery).

 

second that just put a 51r in big difference

 

I own an '08. factory battery & I've been having problems lately w/ the starter turning over. Mind you, No a/c was or is on. I'll keep the key on the 1st turn w/o or w/ the radio on & it'll just turn over. I heard that I'm going to need a new battery b/c the factory one is to weak..I find that idiotic.
Anyone else w/ this problem?
