There is no excuse for Volvo or any other manufacturer if the battery is dead because you left your car idle for a week... It does not make sense to me, this is unacceptable. They should put a bigger battery or sort the electrics / ac management out.

Back in 1920 maybe it would be OK. Not today.

P.
excellent - you don't need any advice, guidance or help then

there is nothing wrong with trying to make life easier - either for yourself - or your car battery
