An older car without computers will last many months if the battery is good.
Newer cars with ECMs and other electronic equipment and computer modules will only last 2 to 3 weeks.

depends on how you store it, the type of battery, how much charge and acid where in it when you put it to sleep and the climate as well.
But typically you could pull it off of the shelf after 2 years and still have enough cranking amps to turn your engine over

Old car? (pre-computer) several months.
New car? (computerized) a week or two.
