I've had mine over a year now and never had that problem and have had it sit for a little over two weeks, almost three. I also have short trips, under 15 miles each way. Sounds like there is something draining the battery, more than the computer on yours. One thing I also do is to turn my auto headlamps to the off position as some times those circuts draw more juice, even thought the H/L's are not coming on because the sensor is being activated.
