Question Battery Dead after I parked for a week

Does anybody know if it is normal that after I parked my car in the garage for a week and the battery is dead? I tried to open the door with the key fob and nothing happens, so I had to unlock the door manually to pop the hood open to jump the battery. This is weird. I read the owner manual and it only said if I parked my car for more than a month then I have to disconnect the negative terminal to prevent the battery discharged, but I only parked there for a week.

i've parked my car for a week multiple times and havent had a problem starting it ever. Just drive the car normal now and let the alternator charge the battery back up.

was anything on for that amount of time to cause the battery to get drained quicker?

No there wasn't anything that is on in that week. Maybe there is some hidden light that was on and I can't see it.
