I did some searching and found some battery related, but nothing that's really a match for the question.

Being... I sometimes am away for business for a few weeks at a time and when I get back the battery has enough power to turn on the interior lights and warning lights but won't even attempt to crank the engine. I end up having to jumper cable it.

I used to own an RX-7 and sometimes that car would sit for months with no issue at all, but the Boxster is behaving nowhere like that.

Anyone find this an excessively short amount of time for the battery to be drained? And if this isn't the norm, then any thoughts on the matter?
