The 2016 Honda CR-V seems to have no specific battery problems based on online complaints. However, this doesn't mean that you are immune to common battery issues that drivers often encounter, such as old batteries, drain when the car is off, and alternator troubles. If you're experiencing battery problems, check the voltage using a digital multimeter to start diagnosing the issue. Sometimes, a component drawing power while the vehicle is off could be causing starting problems that may appear to be due to a bad battery. In some cases, despite it being a 2016 model, it might be time to replace the battery. Worst case scenario, you could be facing alternator problems, which can be a costly repair of around $1,000 or more if you need to replace the alternator. Hopefully, that won't be your situation.
The issues with the battery in the 2016 Honda CR-V often stem from the computer drawing too much power when the car is not in use.
