Schofiel: It's a brand new car, literally right off the lot. It doesn't need a new battery. That is the normal amount of voltage drop for that make/model of Honda.

Wait a minute - what year is your honda? I've got a '99 honda accord; and I've often played the empeg w/ the key in ignition, then cranked the car.. The empeg usually just blanks the screen for half a sec and then keeps playing.
