Almost to the day the battery died on the 2018 after two years. No previous problems with the battery, in fact up till this morning car cranked just as it had since day one. It then struggled a bit in the afternoon when starting and by the time we got back in the car after 30 mins of driving it was dead.
AAA and dealer both said it had a bad cell and replaced it under warranty (the dealer). They did say the new battery is a new design for what it's worth.
What's annoying is with all this driving sense technology Honda crammed into the car, they didn't bother to give us a way to check the battery charge level or pop something up telling you it's not charging properly. The fact that Honda hack folks can get the data to show up on the car makes this even that much more aggravating.
The only strange behavior lately was the head unit behaving very sluggishly - more so than normal even after reboots - and the GPS would get confused either thinking we were a few streets to the left/right or would just spin around for a bit - all during clear sky days. Coincidence perhaps but if you're seeing something similar might be worth it to head to a shop and have them check your charge level.
