ooo thats alot of valuable input from the experts here...conclusion is that a car can be left untouched for 2 weeks maximum and the highest risk of damage is direct towards your battery...

yup, not damage but battery drain. once the battery is used (from new) even once, it will start draining whether u start your car or not. after a month or so without starting the car to charge it, it will be low on battery and u might not be able to use it to start your car, so if possible, start your car at least once a week to let it warm up to charge the battery, it's better to let it charge for 15 minutes or more because starting the car will use a fair amount of power.

if u use maintenance free battery u will need to charge for even longer, because it won't hold as much power as wet battery and it charges more slowly than wet battery.
