I’ve been through 3 batteries and my car is only 5 years old

Hello everyone I just have a question, I have a 2021 Toyota Camry TRD that I bought used it was on its second battery when I bought it back in 2024 but today the 2nd battery tested bad so I needed a new one which would be the 3rd battery in this car in a 5-6ish year span. Is that bad or does that sound normal. To add my car stays outside 90% of the time and I live in the New Mexico desert just to give some context!

This keeps popping up on my screen after my Camrys TRD battery died and I used a jump box to charge the battery back up

Did I break something, I tried disconnecting the battery negative for 30 minutes to reset it, I drove the car at 55 MPH for 20 minutes to try and recharge the battery. The car starts fine and drives fine now but this is still popping up! What do I need to do?

Is this normal battery usage or considered pretty heavy?

It was activated towards the end of February 2026
