How long before the battery is dead?

I had a 01 Cl600 before before I bought my 05CL65. My 600 could sit about 3 or 4 weeks(depending on the temperature) before the battery was dead. I would put it on a charger for a couple of hours and it would be fine. It was the original battery so i didn't mind. Now my 65 battery dies after just 2 weeks of sitting. Is there something I should be shutting off or disabling? Or is this just the automatic leveling and other system slowly draining the battery?
I travel a lot with my job, so it does get annoying, every time I get home from a trip my car is dead. If it's the nature of the beast, I guess I'll just buy a battery tender.
Anybody else have the same problem?

sounds about right.

your solution is to install a detachable charging cable (most trickle chargers have them) and plug the car when you are away.
