May have an A/C clutch relay that is 'sticking on' causing the battery to drain.IF it is less than 3 years AND 36,000 miles on it (factory warranty on battery) , bring to DEALER- may also need a software update (if yours is included in a service bulletin for battery charging issues). VERY likely it has a 'bad cell' and would need a COMPETENT and patient tech to verify this , because in order to have it show up on the 'HONDA ED-18 battery tester (required HONDA tool) , it may have to be drained to cause a 'forced fail' , a FAIL - nonetheless....good luck.

May be the AC relay, haven't gotten a recall. Replaced the battery with MFG recommended battery 620 CCA. The factory installed battery had 420 CCA. I think that is the problem. The slightest drain, charging a cell phone, leave lights on for 10 mins, car won't start. Why does Honda put an undersized battery in their 4cyl cars? MONEY.

Factory installed is 410CCA , DEALER replacement is 500CCA , Uhm..... you won't get a 'recall' notice for service bulletins like a sticking relay , that is NOT a safety issue.//..///edit-- Factory battery for a 4cyl. is 410CCA , for the V6 it's 550CCA , sorry.
