It sounds like you may have something drawing current and you should probably try to solve that problem first, (trouble shooting that should be in the archives) Note: Many older security systems are notorious for doing this. I have an 82 corvette that will kill a good battery in 2-3 weeks and turn a brand new battery into garbage In about 1-2 months (lead acid batteries don't like being fully discharged). If you hook an ordinary battery charger to the battery and leave it on all the time, it will for lack of a better term cook your battery over time. The solution is a float charger that keeps the battery charged but doesn't over charge it, Many are out there they cost between $10-$50 (I paid about $15 for a cheap one) and it works great and I have never had a problem since I started using it about a year ago. It should also help prolong the life of the battery. Based on my experience I would recommend a float charger for any car or battery that does not get regular use.The avantage of this over the battery switch is that you don't have to reset your clock, it keeps info in the computers and should give the battery a longer life over all.
