Weak battery at 34,700 miles - 2 parasite fuses drain it.
Purchased April 2022 this 2022 HRV - Use it for business, so lots of mileage. Began noticing 'barely' starting after sitting over the weekend? Researched it and found it has 2 fuses that use the battery when the engine is off - called a parasitic battery. HOW DUMB for Honda. I also read online, Shipping Instructions state: Remove Fuse #?? and Fuse #?? place in glove box and replace upon arrival. Imbeciles. Why have a fuse draw battery power when the car is OFF!! Causing premature failure on the battery. No problems since this was replaced 2 years ago - It's now Oct. 2025.
