Hello,

I just purchased two Honda hybrid's The 2010 Insight is giving me a scare- it only has 1000 miles on it and I went out to start car and its dead- brought it to dealer - after having it towed- they changed battery- today its dead again ? The only thing I can think of that I can be doing is im leaving my phone charge plugged into the charger- can this be draining the battery or is this a larger problem- the other Car- civic is Fine Please HELP with any feedback or experience you have Thank you

 

It sounds like the 12V battery is being drained when you keep the cell phone charger plugged in overnight.

 

Does your phone charger have a indicator light? This will help confirm if your 12 volt accessory socket is always powered. If it's like other late model Honda's those sockets are not powered without the key in ignition and turned to position I (or further). Anyway, #1: disconnect the phone charger and see how it goes.

 

Maybe double-check to make sure you haven't left anything else on, like a dome light or something like that.
