you have a draw somewhere..

take a test light or multi meter and go over all fuses in dash and underhood

Pull the neg battery cable off your battery hook a dvom to the negative battery cable(not hooked to your battery) and the red lead to the pos side and it will show you how much of a pull you have on the battery with ignition off. There should be alittle pull as the ecu and radio always are pulling a voltage. Then start pullling fuses one at a time till the major voltage pull goes away then you know whats pulling voltage and where to start looking for a problem.

Assuming ur alternator is good. Check ur grounds.... usually the ground wire on the battery is the culprit.... or it was for the 3 cars I worked on

Several years ago this happened in my brother's Acura Legend. The car had been stolen (the ignition wasn't in 100% working order). His battery was draining as well, we did the above mentioned test and discovered it was his radio. When the key was out of the ignition, the radio would stay on. Hope you can fix your problem.

Below is the typical configuration with the multimeter placed between the negative battery post and the disconnected ground wire:

hey! This usually happens if your alternator needs to be replaced. I've had this same issue with multiple Honda's I've owned in the past. These older Hondas tend to go through alternators quite quickly, especially if you have an aftermarket audio system in your car or any additional electronics. Hope this helped.
