battery keeps dying

This is the second time in a row, like I dont drive my car and it starts fine after I recharge it but when I leave it in the car for 2 days it gets drained and no clicking whatsoever. I know its not the start or alternator my friend told me its a short somewhere and I have my sterio hooked up but some wire that I see, that are disconnected touching the metal inside the car which could be the problem. I thought it was the battery but I got it checked and its fine.

Yeah alarms, or anything really aftermarket that you have installed like a stereo. . If you didn't hook up the remote wire correctly your stereo, or amp could be running all the time and draining it.

It could also just be a bad battery. Check for the little green glowing indicator on the battery itself, and have it tested to see if it holds a charge. It could simply be a bad battery when you got it, or went bad due to age, being drained too many times, or being stored on concrete for too long.

If it's none of the above, I would take it to Honda, because it could be a factory problem with the electrical.

I know if it sits for like 2 weeks than it's pretty normal because the cars computer will slowly drain it down over time, but 2 days is too fast.
