Battery problems with Honda Civic

My Honda Civic 1.8 auto (2010) unexpectedly suffered a flat battery and the garage could find nothing wrong. Ten days later it happened again. The garage says it may be the alarm system which will cost £300 to replace. Any idea as what the problem might be?

More likely to be the interior light dimmer switch. Try switching it off altogether. I had that problem with a Toyota and every Toyota and Honda rental car I ever hire comes with the interior light switched off.
