Question XT660z tenere battery life

Hi folks think i may have a duff battery, Have not been able to ride my bike for 3 weeks due to other commitments. Anyway tonight thought i sneak in a short ride for the last hour of daylight. BUT the bikes battery was totaly dead not even a neutral light, the only thing showing life was the running lights had a faint orange glow. It started and ran ok after a charge but i would expect a ten month old battery to last longer than 3 weeks. When i first got the new bike i did notice that the engine turned quite slow after a weeks lay off so i checked the alternater was charging which it was.
So folks how long can you leave your bike before the battery runs flat? does the immobilizer run the battery down quick?
