Keeping a handy battery charger is a good idea. I might shop for 1, been thinking about it for years. Reasonably priced, $50 at Costco or BJ's or Sam's.

I keep one of those jump-start batteries in the trunk most of the time. That way I can give myself a jump when it is 1 AM and the snow is whipping thru the parking lot. Also, if I feel like a good samaritan, I can jump someone elses car without catching some electrical disease in the RX!
If you buy one, the heavier the battery weight, the better! Some have very small batteries and are a joke. And keep it charged so it does not freeze.

Another question, by the way...how can I make the headlights not stay on once I turn off the car? I know I can press the remote's lock button twice and the lights will go out, but how can I either change the length of time they stay on, or not have them stay on at all?

As to the question if anyone left their car for week and had a dead battery. While every car is different, most cars should last a week no problem, but I did have one car that had a fairly high idle amperage drain and if you didn't drive the car for a little over a week the battery would be very low or dead. I think the RX should have lasted at least 2+ weeks though.

Fortunately, in our neck of the woods, we do not see freezing temps much. Sunny, humid ATL! Now, running full blown A/C all the time is the cruncher!
