I was just looking at the ELD, there's some basic tests to check its wiring to fuse 4 under the dash (pin1), its middle pin(2) which is a ground and the 3rd pin is the data pin to the ECM, but there are 2 different codes that would usually set with a failure of that component, the trouble is you're having to recharge the battery so much. All the service information is stating "check ELD data with Honda hds, and to use an amp clamp to verify current flow. There aren'tt any basic tests besides checking power from fuses, and if the eld was to set a code we wouldn't know because the computer's memory has been cleared by the battery being unhooked. There's a code P1297 eld circuit low voltage and a P1298 eld circuit high voltage. Each procedure starts with check eld data list with Honda hds or pgm tester. It's frustrating, unless you're a Honda technician, we won't have access to these scan tools. I think if it was a failure of the electric load sensor (eld) you would have had a check engine light on at first, and as battery voltage dropped off, the other symptoms you mentioned would follow. I will post the Flow Chart for the charging system just so you can see what I mean. But I don't want you to jump out any of these ECM circuits.
One thing it does say is, "Does the charging system indicator go off? Yes, Charging system indicator circuit is Ok. Go to the alternator and regulator circuit test."
So, the battery light is staying on, so next is "Troubleshoot the multiplex control system".
There is a TSB on the electrical system and the eld, but there is a code involved, Ill post it below. But there's always a chance of a bad Alternator, I know it tested good, but there have been a lot of bad parts lately.
