My Acura battery lasted 5 years and still had life on it when I replaced it two weeks ago...with another Acura battery! 36 month free replacement, 100 month pro rated...$80.

Look in the ServiceNews and see what they said to do. It's been awhile since I saw the article, but it is a start. I don't recall if you needed a special scan tool to check for parasitic draw, but there was some procedure that at the time was not outlined in any software or service manual...
You may end up going to the dealer, but if you can show them the servicenews when they charge you, to prove it was a known issue, you may be able to get some relief.
All of this is just my speculation....no actual history of this.
