car sat for 1 1/2 weeks and bat is dead???normal
like i said my car sat for like a week and a half and it was completely dead the alarm wouldnt even beep to open it. I thought it should have lasted longer then that. It is a brand new battery by the way maybe 4 months old. Well the real question is -is it normal for a battery/maxima to do that? what is your experiences
I come back from vacation and im hungry so i try 2 go to tacobell but no lol sry just had to throw that lil part in

Maybe you left something on? On my old 3rd gen max, my battery would die out if I let it sit for more than a few days. The symptom got worse over time. Thinking it was a bad battery, I went out and purchased a new one. The new battery fixed the problem for about 2-3 days, then the problem came back. Took the battery back to Sears thinking I got a bad one, had them check everything out. It turned out to be a dying alternator. It was not putting out enough charge to keep the battery topped off, slowly draining it over time. This could be something to check. Good luck man.

i didnt leave anything on it only happens when i leave the car for like 5days or so -this has happened 2 times both when i came back from vacation-its just so weird-is it normal -the only thing that is drawing a charge is 2 led security lights

Why do you have 2 led security lights? is it an aftermarket alarm? what you could do is just disconnect the battery when you leave for several days. Draining a battery all the way down like that will shorten its lifespan. I would also recommend getting a battery booster if you don't already have one they can be a real life saver for only 25 bucks - mine has a really cool fluorescent light, I use it all the time.

No it is not normal. You either have a weak battery or a drain. I have left my car for 3-4 weeks at a time without starting it, and it fires up without any problems (as does my wife's car).
It could be something non-obvious, like a trunk light...
