Default Storing car for 3 and half weeks

hey guys, i have a quick question about storing a car for almost a month. I'm going to be keeping my car in the garage for about 25 days. In doing so, i need to know if i need to take any precautions when doing so. I store my IS for 3 monthes at a time and all i really do is make sure there isn't much fuel in the tank and unplug the battery so that when i get back i just fill of the tank with fresh gas and its ready to go. So what would i have to do for this shorter period of time, is it even necessary that i unplug the battery. I'm not sure how long the battery will last without running the motor.

3 weeks is nothing, especially in the garage. My girlfriend travels for business and had to leave her xA at the airport parking lot for 4 weeks couple of times. Got back, started the car and drove home.

Don't sweat it.

really thats good, my IS for some reason doesn't hold charge i guess that well then. I have an Optima Red top in that car and after 3 weeks of the car sitting, it'll crank but it's really weak. Anyways well i guess i will do nothing then.
Thanks guys
