I was also told at the dealership that this can happen if you drive your car only for very short distances or for less than 15 minutes. Starting the car and all the systems drains the battery, and then it never has a chance to fully recharge. I often drive 10 minutes or less to school, so I think he is right. I bought one of those battery tenders online for about $25 and plan to periodically charge the battery.

I own Honda Fit 2019, 8500 miles odometer, initial battery died 4000 miles, replaced and same dead battery problem at 8000 miles, installed 3rd new battery this week. I'm beginning to think I have a lemon on my hands. Dealer replaced batteries under warranty; however, they decline to investigate for causal issues and assume it is the battery itself that is the problem.
