Outlander doesn't start
I had a voltage regulator go in my 04 Outlander after about 25 hrs use which kept the charging system from working, but your problem sounds more like a bad cell in the battery. My Honda GL1800 did the same thing a week off the dealers lot. It went back 3 times before they were able to confirm the battery had a bad cell. It would test OK unless it was under a cranking load. Acted pretty much as you are describing here in that if it sat for two days or more it would half-heartedly try to turn over then do a lot of clicking and whirring. As Canlogic mentioned - a battery tender is a good investment, but it won't fix a bad battery and it's a real pain having to plug in every time you shut the machine off. Have the dealer fix the problem for you.
