This is why all my garaged vehicles that are not driven daily have a Battery Tender quick connection cord coming out of every vehicle. I pull in and plug it in to the tender every time I park. You would not believe how long a battery will last if you always put it on a tender when not in use. It also keeps the batteries in top health. The parasitic power loss from a modern car in just one week is terrible.
