Do you think i could have problem with the battery of the car?

Thanks!
I left my Elm327 in my car for several months when I used it. I drove mine's to work daily though, but there were a times when I drove my beater car to work instead, so the Elm was left in my car for 3-4 days at a time.

Nothing happened until a month ago... After leaving my car sitting for 4 (very cold) days, I found my battery was dead when I tried to start my car. Had to jump start my car, but the battery's been fine ever since. I don't have any other aftermarket electronics in my car that can drain my battery either.
