Ok, Honda replaced the battery in our 2002 about 3 months ago due to having to jump start it 5 times.
We do not drive the car much, maybe 2 times a month and I just went out to give her a bath and dog gone it the battery is dead again. What do you all think? Should a battery go dead in just a couple of weeks?

Thank for your help

Oh, man - you've got a Spa Yeller sittin' around without driving her? That baby is itchin' to get out. Please drive her more. This engine begs to be driven and driven well.

 

Must only be yours. Mine has never died, even after having left it for a few weeks without driving. Something is inconspicuously draining your battery, slowly yet surely.

 

Aftermarket radio/alarm system maybe?

 

I can see several possible issues here. You say you got a new battery 3 months ago. You also state that you only drive the car a couple times a month. If you got the new battery and simply continued this routine, I postulate that the new battery never got fully charged to begin with. The "dry charge" the battery had when sitting on the shelf will not last unless you drive the car regularly or unless you put a charger on it immediately to bring it full charge.
Even with a full charge, driving it that seldom is hard on battery health. Is your car "electrically" stock? Does it have any "add ons" that use juice? Maybe there is a wiring issue.
In any case, a car that is driven like yours should be attached to a "smart charger" whenever you park it. These come with a quick disconnect to make it very easy to deal with.
Honda Motorcycles that are fuel injected have in their owners manuals a specific section about using these smart chargers whenever useage is less than once every two weeks. The computers do not like low battery power. It's actually better that the ECU gets nothing than to get continuously diminishing power.

Like xviper suggested - unless there's a wiring issue a battery tender will solve your problem.

 

turn your car on more often so the alternator can recharge the battery.

 

Disconnect the battery when you park for time.

 

if u keep the car off for longs amounts of time. ie. only drive it 2 times a month. look into getting an Optima Yellowtop "Deep Cycle" battery.
