Default IS350 battery reliable to be left 1+ month?

will the battery be ok if I leave the car for 1.5 months without starting it at all? will it be dead when i'm back?

my car is a 2007 model, so it's been a year of ownership..

If you're worried about it, you can always just disconnect the battery.

Shut off the Keyless system. You can do this by placing the key on the driver side door handle for about 10 minutes. You can test that the system is disabled by touching the handle. To restart the system just press the lock or unlock button on the remote several times.

If you have modified your car in some way that the battery won't hold a charge while sitting parked for 3 days, then you need to fix it. Adding more / bigger batteries isn't the correct aproach.
