I certainly can 'NOT' let my Ford F150 truck sit very long. Once you let them get drained below the 50% charge state they just don't seem to re-cover well.
I suspect your new battery will do the same thing if you leave it sitting for a long period of time - you need to add one of those solar panels you lay on the dash area behind the windshield. Mine is a 18WATT model I think it is (AMAZON) and plugs into an always active 12V socket and keeps the battery going for me...
Who knows home many computers these cars and trucks have going 24/7 these days...
