cool.
make sure you drive it, so that the alternator can recharge the battery.

It turns off when you lock the car, turns back on when you unlock. So, you didn't really leave it on for 5 hours.

The car comes with a 4 yrs/50,000 miles warranty which includes the battery.

I took my car in for an A service last week, they load tested the battery and it failed, with 45K miles/ 74K km on the odometer and 2.5 yrs old, they replaced the battery under warranty.

I think it turns off eventually, I've done the same in my Accord more times than I care to count. Battery still runs strong (ish).
