Default 2018 CRV wont start anytime I go on vacation

My 2018 EX won't start if it's not used for more than 10 days. This had happened since I bought it. Two different dealers have seen the car and they insist there is no problem. I wrote Honda to see if there is a problem with this year and model and they did not respond. Has anyone else experienced this? It's annoying to come from travel and have to find someone to help me jump the car.

Thanks

The electronics will drain the battery after that length of time. You should put a trickle charger on it. There's nothing wrong with the car.

I appreciate the response. However, I know 3 other CR-V owners (2017, 2018, 2020) That does not happen to them when they travel. Why is it happening to mine? The battery and started were checked today and they are good.

Thanks

10 days is to long. The dealer will not even consider it a problem because it's not.
Get a higher capacity battery if you want.

I've left my 2007 Ridgeline parked for over a month, with alarm set, and when I came back, it fires right up. You have something draining the system.

What? A month will drain any to low to start. You don't have things on that should be on when shut down.
