As a general rule if the battery goes flat in under a week and you have not left anything on or have a fault it is probably due replacement. Most cars should last several weeks and still start but as cars and there batteries get older this can be reduced.
My neighbour has a 15 year old Fiesta that stays on his drive for weeks at a time unused, he can leave that as long as a month between starts and it always just fires up. |

You could be right, I have Diesel and a V6, they are also left standing and go back to them after even a couple of weeks and they both start okay. Rev |

Does it ever illuminate in the message centre saying charge fault ?
Also using IPK diagnostics section 19, then section 9 you can monitor the charging vaults using on-board diagnostics Mick
