the garage round from my work has a type r for sale and i swear its always got the bonnet up and the battery getting charged/jumped... ( been there for a good 6-8 weeks at least) maybe its a honda thing? have you tried one of those trickle/solar charger things? might keep it topped up enough.

If the battery is on its way out or the alarm suck a lot of juice, yes, it is possible.

Sounds like a relay is stuck on somewhere though to be honest.
And you will need a new battery now. Once modern batteries go flat, they will never perform properly again.
