I usually park my car at the airport a month at a time. If it is parked for more than a week my car will not start. Is there a battery I can get to prevent this or should i just get a battery quick disconnect?

Are you sure you're not leaving the dome light on? It sounds to me like you a) need a new battery or b) have a drain on your system from something like a car alarm, stereo, or something along those lines.

How old is the battery? Did you have it tested yet?

i've had the battery tested. and it passed everytime. I may just go out and buy a new battery.

If the battery passed and is fine...a new battery will not help. You have a drain on the system. Find out what it is...or disconnect the battery when you go away.

I'm sure you could take a taxi or bus to the airport for less than that.

I had the same problem . My battery would die after a month of sitting in my garage (getting engine rebuilt) , I found out that it was the factory alarm that was killing the battery...I just turn off my alarm and it solved it but your probably better off getting a better battery or disconnect.

I'd say take a cab... And just disconnect your battery at your home. It can't be more expensive than parking your car at the airport for such a long period of time.
