Battery draining parasitic draw

Battery draining parasitic draw
I have a viper alarm on my car with plenty of add on parts. I know it was installed correctly since I used to do installs with my buddy who put it on and he's a head tech at the shop I got it installed. In short, there's so many components to my system that it's pulling about 90-100 milli amps draw. If i daily drove my s2k this wouldn't be an issue however since i only drive it once a week, maybe even once every two weeks, it's draining my battery and setting off my alarm.
I had the alarm tested and everything is checking out fine. I'm being told that the alarm is so complex and has so many add ons to it that it's going to drain a bit more than the acceptable 50 milliamps. My question is, what are my options to help my battery hold a 2 week lag considering the 100 milliamp draw? Removing a siren or sensor is not an option however could I not install some sort of a capacitor or a second battery to the car to help resolve my power drain issue?
