My friend has a 06' tsx and the battery keeps dieing everytime the car has not been turned on for a couple of days like the weekend. She has replaced the battery like a few times by the dealership and everytime she goes to the dealership they say nothing is wrong and just replace the battery and it still has the same problem. What should she do?

Take the positive cable off the battery with the car running, and see if it stays running or dies, that will determin if its something with alternator or something else, if it dies then replace the alternator, if it stays running I would say something electrical is causing the battery to go dead.

Apparently the car has a slow power drain somewhere. How many times has she been back to the dealer?

need to ck parasitic draw,something is staying on and killing battery.
the dealer should have a clamp around meter so you dont have to disconnect battery.also make sure doors are fully closed,if not,they may be keeping interior light on,you should find the problem,good luck !!!!!

the dealership said there's nothing wrong with the alternator, they did all the test but this was like the 2nd or 3rd time they replaced the battery at the dealership...but yea my guess is just to get a better battery then the oem one.

That's fixing the symptom but not the problem.

There is no excuse for putting a third or fourth battery in the car. There is obviously a power drain somewhere. It needs to be found, otherwise it's going to reoccur with any battery you install in there.

Take it to a different dealership and explain the situation to them.

well it was under warranty so they fixed it for free i think, but the warranty is over now.

They didn't "fix" anything if the problem is still occurring.

In this case, she got what she paid for.
