Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing battery drainage issues after not driving their vehicle for a few days, which may be linked to the power door locks self-activating and causing a parasitic power draw. This situation can result in continued current draw from the battery even when the vehicle is off. To address this concern, owners are advised to test for parasitic power draw by disconnecting the negative battery cable and using a multimeter for measurement. Furthermore, routine check-ups are crucial to ensure the battery remains in good condition and does not drain excessively. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to seek professional assistance to diagnose and resolve the underlying cause of the battery drain.
