God bless you for the detail explanation

RyanAutomotive:
Good afternoon sir,

Thank you for the feedback and for providing the vehicle details 👍
Honda Accord 2005 — 4-cylinder (4-plug engine)

That information helps narrow things down properly.

Ryan Automotive Limited
📍 Along LASU–Isheri Road, Lagos


🔋 Battery Recommendation — Order of Preference

Yes sir, the brands listed are based on experience and reliability, and below is our general order of preference for this Accord (subject to availability and correct rating):

1️⃣ Varta – Excellent voltage stability and lifespan
2️⃣ Bosch – Very reliable, handles electrical load well
3️⃣ ACDelco – Strong performance if original capacity is used
4️⃣ Amaron – Good durability in Nigerian climate
5️⃣ Exide – Acceptable when properly specified

⚠️ The most important factor is not just the brand, but:
• Correct Ah rating (usually 60–70Ah for this model)
• Correct CCA
• Proper installation and clean grounding

A high-quality battery installed on a weak charging system will still fail.

⸻

⚙️ Professional Note (Very Important)

For the 2005 Honda Accord, we strongly advise:
✔️ Battery load test
✔️ Alternator output test under electrical load
✔️ Grounding and terminal voltage-drop check

Only after these checks can we confirm if it’s battery-only or charging-related.

⸻

If you’re ready, you can bring the vehicle in for proper testing and we’ll guide you transparently from there.

Thank you sir. God bless you

Check your vehicle charging system first, before doing any other thing, also you should be fine with Runall 75AH BATTERY

Thank you RYANAUTOMOTIVE for your swift and detailed response. However,

* Vehicle type: Honda Accord 05, 4 plug engine.
* What's your shop address?
* If it's a battery Fault, the batteries you recommend are they listed in the other of preference?

RyanAutomotive:
Good morning sir,

Thank you for reaching out, and well done for noticing this fault early 👍
For better and faster diagnosis in the future, please always include full vehicle details when posting:
Vehicle Make + Model + Year + Engine size (and transmission if possible).
Electrical systems vary widely across models.

That said, let’s address the issue you described.

⸻

🔧 Professional Diagnostic Insight — Headlight ON, Engine OFF

When a vehicle switches off immediately after headlights are turned on, it is a strong electrical system fault, not something to ignore.

Based on experience, the most likely causes are:

1️⃣ Weak or Failed Battery (Very Common)
• Battery can no longer support electrical load
• Voltage drops sharply once headlights are engaged
• ECU, fuel pump, or ignition system shuts down as protection

This usually happens when:
• Battery is old (2–3 years+ in Nigerian heat)
• Battery is sulfated or internally damaged
• Wrong battery type was installed previously

⸻

2️⃣ Alternator Not Charging Properly

Even with a “new” battery, the car can shut off if:
• Alternator is weak
• Charging voltage is below spec
• Alternator diode/regulator is faulty

Headlights add load → system voltage collapses → engine stalls.

⸻

3️⃣ Poor Grounding / Electrical Connections

Very common on Nigerian-used vehicles:
• Loose or corroded battery terminals
• Weak engine-to-body ground
• Bad chassis earth point

A poor ground can behave exactly like a bad battery.

⸻

⚡ Battery Recommendation (From Experience)

Without vehicle details, here are safe professional guidelines:

✅ Recommended Battery Types
• Bosch
• Varta
• Exide
• ACDelco
• Amaron

Always choose:
• Maintenance-free (MF)
• Correct Ah (Amp-hour) rating for the car
• Correct CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) — very important

⚠️ Using “any battery that fits” is a common mistake and causes issues like this.


⚙️ Ryan Automotive Workshop — Professional Take

This is not a guess-and-replace issue.

Before buying anything, the car needs:
✔️ Battery load test
✔️ Alternator charging test (engine ON & under load)
✔️ Voltage drop & grounding inspection

Replacing a battery when the alternator is bad will only waste money.

⸻

📌 What We Recommend (Next Steps)

Bring the vehicle in for:
• Full charging system diagnosis
• Battery & alternator test under load
• Grounding and terminal inspection

Once tested, we’ll tell you exactly whether it’s:
• Battery only
• Alternator only
• Or wiring/ground fault

No trial-and-error.

I hard same fault recently. Mine was because my steering oil was dried up. I only added steering oil and my steering became very free.

EaseMyHill:
Good day everyone,

Please I drive a Hyundai Xcent 2015 (manual) and recently the steering has been very hard to turn and the power steering warning light on the dashboard remains on and doesn't go off.
What could be the possible cause of this?

It's Honda Accord 05 4plug Engine

Louiscars:
What vehicle is this, some vehicles might require a battery with more amperage/hour rating, again you need to check your charging system also

HELLO GUYS PLEASE I NEED HELP.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A CAR AFTER SOME DAYS I DISCOVERED THAT WHENEVER I ON HEADLIGHTS THE CAR WILL OFF. I THINK ITS PROBABLY WEAK BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR NOT CHARGING.

NOW IF ITS WEAK BATTERY, WHAT ;
* PRODUCT/MODEL CAN YOU RECOMMEND FROM EXPERIENCE?
* ANY IDEA OF THE COST?

People are really funny. Anyways there is a purpose to reach out to Mike's followers

If there president was a good leader, will the people be happy against their president

This people are the problem of the country

franksam209:
bros I beg you with anything you worship,, do not invest that money into ehailing,, you will regret it!!! And secondly you might get stuck for life!!!
Go learn a skill or business and invest that money, there are so many business you can do and still make money without messing up your mental health with ehailing.

Brother thank you for your advice, but if I may ask why did you say I shouldn't venture into ehailing?

I just pray nothing happens to the officer's job.

If it was igbo or southern they will coded retire and arrest him.

But if he is a northern, nothing will be done because BAT wants North support for 2027. Useless country.

Though I commend the officer for holding his integrity.

Djdamian:
Hi bro,

I’ve noticed you have a bit of arrogance in you, and honestly, that’s not a good trait because it clouds your ability to reason objectively.
You seem to think Corolla is the only car that comes with a 1.8L engine. Have you compared the parts and engine prices of Honda Civic or Fit with EOD?

You posted a screenshot showing the difference between both engines, and it clearly states that cars with 1.8L and below save more fuel and money, which is very important in the e-hailing business. Did you also consider the resale value of the car you suggested? What’s the ratio of e-hailing drivers using EOD compared to those using cars like Corolla, Civic, Kia Picanto, or Suzuki? Have you wondered why people prefer cars with smaller engines?

Being open-minded is a very valuable skill—try to work on it more

Hello brother this will be the first time I am commenting on this thread. I give you credit that my first comment is in reply to your view. Honestly I have learnt a lot especially from what you wrote now.

I am planning to start ehailing next year and currently saving up to get a good car.

Everyday I come here to read drivers post with open heart to learn and each time my company book ride for me I always engage the drivers.

Honestly these are my challenge as a newbie;
* The type of car that suits this business
* Location ( I believe I can learn in the job)

Congratulations brother. I wish you a happy married life. Your home is blessed

This people meeting is just a complete waste. All for the camera with no actions

I just Waka pass. He himself knows the truth. No need to come they act victim

The guy above is sincerely correct. Who have the time to read that long epistle

You will make a peaceful and lovable partner due to your background. I also came from such kind of home you just described, my girlfriend and I hardly have quarrels. I just love peace in my house.

Rest on Jimmy Swaggart in the bossom of the Lord you always preached and sang about. One of the best gospel minister I love watching his SON program and songs.

A very good keyboardist who impacted the world through his songs for the lord Jesus.
