Unless you have some sort of parasitic draw, you shouldn't have any problems. KAM (keep alive memory) for both the stereo and ECM draw next to nothing and the car should start months later no problem. Check the amperage draw when the car is off. It sounds like you have something wrong.

I assume your compressor wiring is disconnected??

yes yes disconnect the air ride system i keep mine disconnected and only 15 psi in the system when i start my car i hook everything up and the air ride
the compressor will countinue to kick on to keep air in the system that is might be happing to your car

if you disconnect one battery cable and put your multimeter in between the disconnected cable and the battery post you can measure the current(amps) of draw from your battery. There shouldnt be very much. First unplug the compressor and recheck. If there is some draw there, start un pluggin fuses and rechecking until you find what is causing the current draw.
If there is no draw then it probably is your compressor kicking on intermittently and filling up the tank.
