Default Battery discharging too often

Hello

I have a RX350 2012 model. Recently, in last 3 weeks my battery has discharged 3-4 times, I had to call for a jump start.

I got my battery checked with my dealership and they say the reports from battery are excellent!

I am not sure why is it discharging? I just think there might be a sensor failure which is keeping something running in my car.

I will take my car again to the dealership though next week,
do you guys have any idea what could be the issue?

Thanks

I would still bet it's the battery. My 2012 battery went dead after 3 weeks.

I had the same problem on my 2007 Acura. It turned out to be a relay switch in the blue tooth device was not opening causing a drain on the battery which was two years old. The battery would "die" after the car sat for about two days. It took my mechanic about an hour of testing the electrical system to find the problem.
