Car Dies (no battery power) at low RPM's

I hope someone here can help give some potential problems for the following scenario.
I have 1990 Saab 900 Turbo 5-speed that is not driven very often.
After a week or so of sitting, even with a brand new battery (installed approx 4-5 years ago) the battery is dead.
It has simply become routine to use a charger to get it started and unless I use it frequently (more than 1 time per week) the battery would go dead.
Lately, the battery goes dead much quicker - in just a couple of days.
And even more recently, the car is stalling at low RPM's (I think when the cooling fan kicks on). Was able to jump start and as long as I kept it above 2500 rpms everything was fine.
I'm thinking a bad battery especially due to the complete drain problems.
Any thoughts?
