If I leave mine for more than about a week or so it seems to go dead,that's with a new battery too. I've been told certain alarms do drain the battery.

Had the same problem with my P1. left for even 8 days it would go dead. Can leave it for three weeks now and it starts. it was the tracker not the alarm. phone up tracker and ask them what model you have installed.

Regularily (once a month) I go abroad on business for 8 days, never has it shown any signs of failing to start, or even cranked slowly, I would suggest if 8 days is that critical the battery is either well past its best or you have a quiescant drain.
When you say 'cat 1 alarms' I presume your talking the Sigma OE fit not another make?

left my WRX for about 3 weeks when i went to USA and it started up first time to. maybe it depends on the state of your battery when you left it
