I took my car into the local Honda dealer and they said the diagnostic said it was the alternator. Both O'Reillys and Auto Zone said the battery (replaced October 2108) and the alternator and the starter all tested fine. Honda wanted me to pay $700 to replace alternator. I called Honda 800 number and they gave me a case number and told me to call the service manager locally. It is under Honda service bulletin 16-002 with all the details of how to fix it. It's not covered under warranty or recall, but Honda has known about it since February 5, 2016. And I purchased the car from the local dealership in June of 2016 used - they were the previous owner. It had about 14,000 miles at the time. It now has around 58,000 and it has been happening for 1-2 months - it may happen twice a day or not for 10 days. I'm going to call the service manager and see what they plan on doing. This is my fourth Honda and I never had a problem like this before.
