I know that it is an accepted thing that when you let the boxster sit for a few days the battery dies, however I am a little tired of getting new batteries.

I went to the car this am and all I heard was click click, If it sits for more than 2 days, worse if cold outside, the battery barely starts the car.

What is it that is draining the battery? The CPU? Alarm?
I have seen those battery disconnectors that disconnect but allow a minimal voltage to keep the radio and CPU memory active. Would that work?
