You could always get a "dry cell" battery. They are pricey though. Odyssey makes some good batteries.

I never recommend optima batteries. Their charge hold SUCKS!

Also I've done tons and tons of reading on optima batteries, and there are nothing but complaints about them. Mine's barely holds a 12.6v charge overnight. If I take it off the charger it sits at 12.2-12.4V. OEM batt holds 13v+ just fine.

Look elsewhere if you are looking for AGM batteries. At least not with the asking price of the Optima batteries.

MX73 made a great suggestion with Odyssey batteries.

My son is in the battery business(manufacturing) and he has told me that Odyssey is as good as it gets... Very pricey. Batteries Plus Bulb's stores have some very good batteries and you can go there, get info and have them install it at a fair price. They do have discount codes online that you can use prior to battery pickup/install at the store. Also make sure whatever battery you get has a recent within 4-6 months date on it. Some discount retailers have batteries that are over 12 months plus old and I would stay away from those. I always give a new battery a full slow charge either before install or right after. Good luck.
