When I bought my CTEK MXS 5.0 charger, I contacted CTEK as I wanted to run it from an inverter whilst my bike was 'parked' in my van. CTEK told me the charger consumption was 60W.
That might help you work out how long your leisure battery will last if it's running a charger.
Have you thought of fitting a Lithium battery to the bike? they're supposed to hold their charge longer, although with your current battery discharging after 2 weeks, I would suspect a faulty cell or parasitic drain.
I have been reading scare stories about li-on batteries on bikes catching fire and that they don't last very long either.
Can't comment myself but it has put me off as they are very expensive anyway.
I don't mean to be rude but surely a tiny battery and small charger in the house can't be enough to prompt a divorce can they?
How do you charge the leisure battery anyway?
