If you have a clock that works, and your van sits for two weeks or longer,
there has been a steady trickle drain on the battery. If the battery is old
and aproaching the end of its lifespane, even a few days is enough to do it
in. On a good one, It may, even in two weeks, be enough to prevent it
starting. If your van is going to be inop for several days its a good idea
to disconnect the battery!
