What is your question?
My 2012 Honda Odyssey has the wheelchair ramp with it and the battery keeps dying. Both back automatic doors won't close all the way, but The dashboard lights say their both open.The battery kept dying overnight and need a jump start. I bought a battery in Jan and had no issues. 2 wks ago, I was driving and the battery light came on, the "Check Charging System" message flashed on the dashboard, and a strong smell came from the vents from the AC being on so I turned it off an it started jerking forward, running out of battery power as I drove it. Got to my house and the battery went dead and van shut off. Got another battery an it started up fine. Yesterday the battery light and check charging system message showed up again, and van was dying as I had it running until it just shut off completely. I tried jumping it but the battery light and check charging system message wouldn't turn off.
What makes this problem better or worse?
New battery better
How long has your 2012 Honda Odyssey had this problem?

CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM is the ultimate clue! Apparently the alternator output is not sufficient enough to maintain battery charge. *Hands-on* testing by qualified personnel will be required here.
