battery/elec. issue

Here's one for you: I've been overseas for 6 weeks. My 01 95 SE has been in the driveway for 3 weeks and my girlfriend took it out and it started just fine.
I drove it and used the SPARE HEAT (you press the button and the car stays warm for another 30 minutes or so), and then the car won't start. I jumped it and it seems fine.
Battery is 2.5 years old. I take it to the place where I got the battery and they said the alt is putting out the right voltage, they said they tested the battery and it comes up fine. But they claimed they think something is draining the battery when the car is off.
In that case, why would it start after sitting for 3 weeks? They recommended taking it to the dealer.
I think it sounds like a set of dead cells in the battery; it still is charging and capable of starting the car, but no other real power to run things like the spare heater.
Any ideas?
