Not necessarily a bad alternator. Any defective part in the electrical
system could be causing the problem. Static current needs to be checked as
well as the total charging system. Unfortunately Honda mechanics are parts
replacers and do not know how to diagnose electrical systems. Also this
problem has showed many times with third party attachments. Any audio,
security systems etc installed? Very often a problem.
