Honda CRV battery issues?
I have a 2015 Honda CRV. Battery died 4 times for the past 8 months during the pandemic. Replaced battery 3 times. For the last couple months, I have been driving the car 5x a week, 8-10 miles. Did a diagnostic test on the battery last month with an Independent shop. Everything check fine. Took it to a Honda dealership earlier this month. Did not want to take look to see what's wrong. Was told I wasn't driving enough. Should be driving 15 miles. Is there something else that causing the battery to die?

My 82 year old mother bought a 2019 Fit and has been running into the same type of issue. I was convinced she was leaving a light on or something (not too swift when it comes to complicated switches). Anyway, she took it to Honda and they told her the same BS as they did you. I have late model fords that sit for weeks or months at a time and start right up.
I ended up buying her a Battery Tender Jr, hooking a stub to the battery and slipped it out through the grill, she plugs it in after driving it and has been happy ever since.

It could be that you need a new alternator. Get yourself a battery charger (they're cheaper than a battery) and charge it overnight once a week.

bet the problem is something is killing the battery, not the battery. Try this: Unhook the battery when you are done for the day and re-hook it the next morning and see if it works better.
