Just an update. It seems they have found a phantom load that is discharging
the battery but they have yet to figure out exactly what it is. Since all
items are Honda installed and supplied they can't blame it on anything else.
The new battery (3 weeks old) is fine and they report the alternator is fine
as well.

Ask them if they checked for stuck relays.
