I have a diesel truck and when I leave it sit for more than 10 days my battery goes dead. I left it for 2 periods of 3 weeks when I went on a trip and no problem. Then after the last 3 week period it went dead and ever since 10 days is the longest it can sit.
Thanks

well if there is no draw on batteries then you need to replace them. you can check for a parasitic draw bu running a amp meter in series with battery, you should have no more than 50 milli amp draw. these guides can help
