Derrick,

Keep in mind that the memory circuits in the radio are constantly draining
voltage from the battery. The only way to prevent the battery from draining
is by either starting the engine once a week and allow the car to idle for
10 minutes, attach a trickle charge type charger to the battery, or
completely disconnect
the battery when not in use.
