2 weeks should be ok I think.

One time I was on vacation for 13 days. The car just sat at the airport for that time.

It started ok when I got back. But, at that point, the battery felt like if I have to crank more than 6 or 7 times, it is going to die. Lucky for me, it started at the first crank.

May be you've got a leak somewhere in the car. I'm also a newbie. So

My mechanic won't touch anything electrical. They said I need automotive electrician.

Hope that helps

Clarify if you have a stock battery or a 'high performance' one.

I don't know much about batteries, but like you I only drive my car on weekends, sometimes every other weekend. I have an Optima Red Top battery, and the longest I've gone without driving it was for 19 days, and the car started just fine.

Hope this helps.

I have a Diehard battery. How much is the Optima Red top?

Figure a month on a healthy battery, and five days off that for every year of it age.

I would say a couple months. If you have wired your aftermarket gauges and stuff up correctly so that they dont stay on while the car is off, then there shouldnt be much current drain.
