Odyssey are good, but can be over priced.

Have you looked at the red-top optima batteries? They can be found cheap if you know the right people. Or go to Jb-Hi Fi

Got the Odysseys from horsepowerinabox.com.au, I couldn't fit an Optima in because of FMIC pipes, Also have a CTEK charger although I don't use it much. The Odysseys stand up to the deep cycling very well...

Get someone to test for a drain. Normal reading should be between 0-0.05A. Any more than this and you'll have a flat battery in a few days. Most of the time you'll find aftermarket stuff draining the battery because its gone to the sh!tter. If you have no aftermarket gear installed start pulling fuses untill the drain is gone... fun fun! Atleast you'll know what your problem is.
Good luck!
