Asked by GuruCNMW Apr 13, 2017 at 07:32 AM about the 2013 Honda Civic DX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Recently, my 2013 Civic will have a dead battery after a long trip, sitting for an
hour or more, then a short trip - then it's completely dead.  It seems something
is draining the battery when its parked and then I don't drive it long enough to
charge the battery. ??

Take it up to any auto parts shop and have the battery and alternator tested (it's free). If those check out you may need to test for a parasitic drain (see attached links): http://www.wikihow.com/Find-a-Parasitic-Battery-Drain , http://www.aa1car.com/library/battery_runs_down.htm

Thank you. I took it to my mechanic yesterday and that's what he's looking for. I don't have the experience or ability to do this but I think you are right on! Thanks.
