Dead battery
I went on vacation for 10 days and came back and went to start the car and nothing. No lights come on, no clicking sounds. What could cause the battery to competely die in that amount of time. I made sure all the lights were off and radio was turned off. So it just sat in the driveway. I have to go out of town here on a few days and it will be parked at the airport and I don’t want to come back after 4 days to a dead battery in the parking lot.

Seriously, get a jump and get your charging system load tested. A good battery and/or healthy charging system should not allow this. My wife is astounded that we go to the island for two months and I just hop in the Nissan and it starts right up! Her hybrid Highlander dies in a week and a half or so.... lots of parasitic draw in that car.

Agreed- a weak battery (you don't mention how old it is) may not hold much of a charge. Get the entire charging system tested and report back. This is NOT a usual problem with the Z33.
