My car eats batteries every year and a half. But I by Autozone batteries so I just warranty them out.

For starters you can check the battery should read at least 12 volts with the car off. ALso clean the terminals and retighten everything good.

I keep a trickle charger on if I think it might be a week till I start it again and I use Sears gold and haven't had a problem since.

Turn the factory radio off before you shut off the car, and that should fix the issue. I've had the same problem, and I haven't had an issue since making a habit out of turning off the radio. The problem is that the factory amps don't shut off after the car is off if the radio was on, and that will drain your battery in a matter of days.
