Because Electricity can't be "Stored" as such, it is constant. So wether the car is unused or even something as simple as a mobile phone battery, the voltage is still constant, so it looses power slowly (of course). Until it inevitably "Goes flat" as you put it. - but its often that if any battery is left to long without use or charged. The "effectivness" of the battery begins to deteriate, so eventually. (After a Fairly long time) that battery would become unusableb indeffinetly, regardless of the user , atempting to charge it.
In addition if the battery runs flat is just a couple of days then something is on drawing power from the battery or the battery has a dead cell.

How often do you charge a car battery?
A car battery should not be "cycled" as in fully discharged and then recharged. Such a cycling would quickly destroy this kind of battery. A car battery is discharged slightly when you start your car, then it is recharged again when you drive your car. Proper charging whilst running car engine is good for the battery. A normal car-battery (Lead-acid) can last for many years if not "cycled". Never discharge battery more than 50%. How often you actually need to recharge your battery depends on how it is used.

Why would a car battery keep dying?
A car battery would keep dying because inversely, the lesser the battery is used, the dying process continues. The more the battery is used, the lesser the dying process. But the dying commences and continues , the moment the car engine is not used. Thus, as often as the car is being used, the dying "resumes" the moment tne engine stops. And the faster it is used again, the slower the dying process.EVerytime the car engine is used, the battery recharges, thus life is given back to the battery. Once the engine stops, the dying resumes. This is why the car battery keeps on dying (everytime the car engine is not being used)
