Need a Replacement battery

2009 SS/TC, audiowise the car just has the stock system with the pioneer sub...only electronic add ons are an ultragauge an a radar

I drive it maybe once a week but the battery will go dead in the time between, meaning i have to jump it everytime i use it which really takes a toll on the battery. I know the obvious answer is to drive the car more but with 3 jobs and living in a tougher area where I don't feel comfortable parking it somewhere kinda limits me

So I replaced the stock battery with a braille lightweight one and now that only lasted me a year

Been doing some reading on the site about optima yellow tops but found a lot of people saying that this other brand called kinetik is better

I would just like to know which kinetik model number would be best for me that will fit in the oem trunk battery box with no issues?

you have no deep cycling needs, why spend the extra money on a deep cycle unit that doesn't have as many cranking amps? optima red tops have a 3 year free replacement warranty

and a lightweight battery was probably not your best choice. they don't have a longevity typically of a regular battery. they are made for racing, not for daily driving.
