When you not driving the car for awhile 3-4 weeks (not to mention 2 months) the battery drained dry.you charged it enough to start the car but not driving around long enough to fully charge.
drive more or have the battery FULLY charge.

If your going to store it like that you will need a trickle charger to maintain the battery... You need to properly charge it when it is that low; the cars alternator will not bring it back where it needs to be if it has been drained that low for a long period of time...

i think with your doors off .. your G thinks the door is open so the interior lights will be on .. but im pretty sure that they turn off automatically after so much time .. but maybe theres a body module that is staying awake causing a draw

or its like everyone else said .. if you let your car sit for so long that the battery is just dead .. i dont think a charger will bring it back to life .. so start fresh with a new battery ... if it keeps happening and you have aftermarket electrical equipment .. make sure none of it is causing a abnormal electrical draw

I had a similar problem, my battery got drained while I was doing some electrical work, so I had to get it jump started. I thought it would be fine, but I left town for like 4 days and when I got back the battery didn't hold the charge and wouldn't start, so I just picked up a new battery and threw it in myself, a bit of a pain to get it in there, but it didn't take very long.
