depends what you call a long time. days,weeks, months or years. A battery will stay for days, or weeks, but after that you will need to recharge the battery. It should be Ok once you recharge. If you allow a battery to sit often, then you should buy a battery tender slow charger. Whenever you have no plans for the battery, hook up the tender and it will keep the battery fully charged for months, maybe up to a year depending on the original condition of your battery.

If you use anything for a long time it will go dead. The life of a car battery is 3 years.

well they lose there charge but it takes months for that to happen if its a cuple of days or weeks its either a old battery or what us mecanics call a parisitc drain, here is how to test take off the posititive battery temina and hook a volt meter to the post and to the teminal turn your votl metor to amps and it shouldent be over .005 amps, if it is pull one fuse at a time to see where the drain is coming from when it drops bingo thats the circut giving you the problem
