Exclamation Electrical Problems or bad battery?

After being on the road for 3 - 4 weeks I came home and found the battery in my '00 L completely dead. The only item drawing power that I know of was my V-1. I have left my '94 L for much longer periods of time with the radar detector left on and have never had a problem such as this. Did I simply get a bum battery from the factory or has anyone else experienced similar problems? I've got 17,000 miles on the truck - I usually drive it often but my work took me away from my baby. (and my wife)

P.S. - I don't get much time to go online so it may be a few days before I get to read any responses - Thanks for the help!

A easy way to check is next time you are going to be gone for a long time, disconnect the negative wire. If it is dead then it's the battery, if not you have a drain on the battery.
