2015 Honda Civic Battery no start

Hello, I have a 2015 Honda Civic EX 1.8L with 130,000kms. My car intermittently fails to start. This happened twice before and it would start after jump starting the battery. However, I had my battery tested twice and was told the battery is in good condition (5 years old) and does NOT need to be changed. On the third date, it was 20 degrees celsius in the morning and it did not start, but when I tried again at 27 degrees Celsius, it started without the need for a boost. I had it checked once again and was told it is not the battery but perhaps something along the wiring. The car is push start so I hear it crank. Is there any common issue that is known with this?

I had my battery tested twice

always have your alternator tested at the same time

Please get a new battery. Are you waiting to get stranded in the middle of nowhere? 

What’s the actual CCA on the load test report, and the CCA which your battery is rated for? 

The fact that it starts right up when jump started points towards the battery. Are all the connections tight?


I agree with Wingman. I think nowadays for most batteries (you didn't specify the age or brand of your current battery), 5 years is end of life.
