One month is on the very tip of doing this. It also depends on outside temp for those days of sitting. As temps get colder, you must start it once a week even with a new battery.

I'm usually good for starting it every week but i was busy and thought the jumper pack would help. Would it not crank enough with the pack because it's too cold? It's only 13 degrees C outside.

Might be time to get a Battery Tender or a solar trickle charger to keep the battery topped up.

My AVATAR car is plugged into a Battery Tender whenever I'm not driving - great little trickle charger
