I'm not using my car much and find the battery dead most times however it has recovered its charge after a couple of hours of driving. Short drives don't help as a dead battery is reluctant to take a full charge immediately .
I have been thinking about getting a battery disconnection widget but been too lazy. So I use snooper jump starter to get it running. Long term I'm sure it's not great to completely drain the battery but I am resigned to the fact that I'll probably get a new battery in the Spring.
