Transit - Flat battery?

I have a problem with my W reg transit van, probably an easy fix for you guys but something keeps running down my battery. I sometimes use it once in 2 weeks, no internal lights, or anything basic are left on but give it about 2 weeks and the battery is gone and won't even switch the lights on.....

Please help me, how can i find out what's the culprit?

it all depends on how long you use it if it is short runs then you are not putting enough juice back in or may be there is whats called platelets in a batt one of them may be done if so new batt.

hi we had the same problem with owe transit van a bit newer than yours and found the battrey acid level was low top up with distilled water from any car spare shop .if not may be a new battery .or get your alternator checked.
