Is it normal to have my fairly new car battery ('07 Honda Element) die after I let my car sit for a few (2-5) days

Added (1). Whoops. That '?' makes me look demanding and frantic lol. Fat finger accident, my bad.
No. Take your car to a auto parts store & have them check the battery, alternator, etc.
Unless you had a light on somewhere?
My jeep had that problem, because the glove compartment light wasn't turning off.

No. See a mechanic to check for a battery drain. But FIRST, check if you left anything on on the car.
Ni it's not. Go to an auto parts store and have them test the battery and the charging system. It's a free service they offer. One of the three diode circuits in the alternator may be bad and you may be only getting a "surface charge" to the battery.
No, it is not normal for a battery to discharge over that short time period. I left my car at the airport for 2 weeks with no issues. Your battery should hold a charge for a couple of months at least.
No
If the battery is original from when the car was new, 2007 isn't "fairly new" for a battery.
Anything more than 3 years life from a battery is a bonus.
A failing battery could easily lose charge in a few days, but a newer battery should last about a month without use or recharging.
No. My first thought when a good battery drains in about that many days is there might be an aftermarket Sirius/XM receiver that is not being turned off.
07 is a LONG ways from new. An average battery has a 5 year life(the cheap $100 battery) The more expensive battery ($200) will give you 10 years. O7 and now it is 18 so 11 years old.
You have eaten through 2 cheaper batteries or 1 expensive battery. The battery SHOULD BE DEAD.
NO SURPRISE.
40+ yr car mechanic. Who has an 07 Honda and got my $100 last year.
- I let my car sit for 3 months and the battery died. I tried to jump it but it would start? I Tried jumping my car by connecting the jumper cable plugs to it for like 1 min and few seconds… Should I keep the jumper cables in longer or do I just need to buy a new battery. I drive a honda civc 2008. *Wouldn't
- Bought a 1985 Honda inspector kid told me it needed new battery but started with jump got new battery and it was dead next day? Pretty sure its the alternator just wanted some second opinions also I got the bike for 600 dollars you guys think thats a good deal
- How fast is the 03 Honda Element awd element with the automatic from 0-60? Is it a slow car for a normal 4 cylinder? Can it cruise comfortably at 85 mph on a highway with fast paced traffic?
- Will my car battery die while I'm gone for three weeks? My car is Honda Civic 2015. I purchased this new car in October this year. I wonder if my car battery will die if I leave this car for three weeks in the airport parking lot while I'm away?
