The battery tender does not charge the hybrid battery, just the 12V one. You need to drive it more than once a month to keep the 12V battery charged, so a battery tender is pretty much a requirement unless you DD it.I was told by the Acura specialist that the NSX must be driven (or engine idle) a minimum of 30 minutes every 90 days or the lithium battery may discharge completely, requiring a flatbed tow to the dealer to address. So I am reluctant to put a battery tender on it like every other car I own...I plan to drive it at least once per month to keep the battery charged.

Wow! That is really annoying for up here in the frigid North it maybe 4-5 months before the temps are even close to reasonable to fire up the car. I keep my other cars buttoned down for winter and then restart them in spring without issues. I've done that for many years. The concept of calling a specialist to service a dead battery is just silly. It negates the argument of the car's ease of serviceability.
It seems the more I learn about the second gen NSX, the less appealing it becomes. The ridiculous oil change drain plug count and now this. I will be curious to see how the few that own one in the Northern climates fare with this car after a few years. Somehow I don't think their comments will be all that positive.
