    If I want to go on vacation between one and two weeks, is there anything I need to worry about from a battery perspective?

    Not unless your habit is to leave the engine running and the lights on.

    The car will not be running at the Airport parking lot or home is what your concern is?

    If it is you will be OK. Just make sure the map lights are off, and the doors are closed and locked.

    I left my Prius c in the garage for almost four weeks recently and had no problems with the battery when I returned from vacation.

    I have gone on a few Business Trips with the car at the Park n Ride for 3-5 days at a time. Started right up.

    The only problem I recall from people is leaving a map light on which drained the battery.

    Remember you get free Toyota Road Side service the first 2 years.

    The airport staff may jump you for free, but watch em like a hawk, crossing the polls can lead to expensive repairs.
