Hello I bought a Honda hr-v 2023 and it’s dies on me after three days of not using it, it’s so inconvenient when I have to go to work and end up late for my client, I’m paying so much for my payments to have this car I just can’t get in it and start it when I need too, first time it happened right when I bought it and the dealership told me after nothing is wrong with my car or battery and this is just what the cars do, all new car batteries are like this , then it happened to me three more time then went to a different dealership of Honda and then they told me my battery did fail the test and gave me a brand new battery then I went on a trip for work for two days and it did it again, this is rediculous!!I bought my HR-V 2020 Sport in October and I've already had to jump start it twice. Each time was after not using it for what I consider to be a reasonable amount of days : 1st time I hadn't used it for 11 days, the 2nd time I hadn't used it for 7 days. The car dealer tells me it's normal, it's due to the accessories and electronics draining the battery and they recommend driving my car at least twice a week for 30min, but I find this to be exaggerated. I should be able to leave on vacation for a week (after Covid), come back and be able to start my car! Have anybody left their HR-V sitting for over a week and if so did you have an issue starting it? Is this wide spread amoung all HR-V or is it just my car?
Mine has been fine after 2 weeks. The battery is the original, 2019. Sounds like you have a parasitic drain. There are YouTube videos that show you how to check if you have and how to trace it. Try turning off the boot light, the sound system, anything else that might be draining power when the car is off.I bought my HR-V 2020 Sport in October and I've already had to jump start it twice.

Maybe 30ma isa little optimistic?The 51R battery is available in all sorts of variations which affect its Amp-Hours rating, but 50 A-H seems about average. This means it'll deliver 50 Amps for 1 Hour or 1 Amp for 50 Hours. Or any two mathematical factors that equal 50 when multiplied.
I've not measured the normal parasitic draw on an HRV, but a ballpark might be 30 milli-amps, or 0.030 A.
So 50 A-H / 0.030 A = 1,666 Hours, or 69 days, and your battery is flat.
I wouldn't let the car go unused for more than 30 days, so the battery will be about half charged.
And fewer than 30 days in the miserable Winter.

CR-Vs originally fitted with a 51R are now equipped with a size H5/EFB LN2. Look up the specs on this type of battery.I hope the 2023 HRV doesn't have the small 51R battery
