Battery keeps depleting

[GoHuskies]

I've been down in FL for about 2 weeks now. About the whole time I keep having the same problem repeat itself. Goes something like this:

Get in the car after its sat for awhile. At least a couple hours or so - start - head out - then a mile or two later the battery drops down to zero bars. Car then has to regen the battery to about the 7/8 charge mark. Assist doesn't work while accelerating - Like I press the pedal to the floor and no assist. Needless to say the car is a f*cking slow brick during this. Car takes a couple miles to regen - I've normally arrived by then.

- Occurs daily, or multiple times a day.
- Only seems to happen by day (Heat related?)
- Battery depletes redardless of current charge level when I start out.
- I have the SG but the car gives off no codes.

I don't know where any dealers are down here. Not even sure what they'll check or tell me since I know I have no problem codes. This is getting annoying... I have to make several left lane turns and accelerating like the car is dragging 6000 lbs of steel isn't good.

Any ideas?

Try this active thread at greenhybrid.com. It sounds similar.

Hmm ... So if I'm reading right I just have live with this... Try and keep the car cooler when parked.. Use AC right away...

F*ck.

And F*ck this stupid humid state. Seriously Orlando is worse than driving in NYC. At least up north you don't have to spend 5 minutes at every light, and you don't get tickets in the mail because omg! You stopped to close to the line on a red light.. Gag...

bad battery maybe? might just not be able to hold a charge anymore.

Update: For any who care.

Nothing wrong with the car. Dealer confirmed this. of course wether they have the know on how to judge a low volume sales car is questionable....

Otherwise depletion is more certainly heat related. Happened today and yesterday - both sunny, 100+ days. I think I'm gonna do a quick cheap investment in a folding window shade for the rear in addition to the front.

I had similar issues recently. My axillary battery went dead and would not charge and I think this might have something to do with it. I has 3 years and 2 weeks on mine. Honda parts indicated these have just about a 3 year life, just in time for the warranty to end.
