If you leave the engine off for a long time you might drain your battery, especially running headlights, radio, and fan. 2 years old isn't all that new for a battery, especially if your alternator is starting to go. I'm sure long periods of EOC are hard on batteries, but there's not much you can do unless you want to get a deep cycle battery or stop EOCing. Definitely trying to run all that stuff while EOCing is a bad idea though. I basically never EOC at night due to the draw of the headlights.
