Alternator is next on the list to check.
Good luck. I am still struggling and beginning to suspect my own alternator. Here are a couple tests I will try tomorrow: How to Troubleshoot a Honda Civic Alternator | eHow.com. And the ever helpful honda-tech moderator with a characteristic short and sweet recommendation: Honda-Tech - View Single Post - Alternator testing.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
