I would still go for the $15 battery, given your circumstances even a lithium battery could overdischarge becoming an overpriced boat anchor, Franks solar trickle charger idea is a good one

For a 4 banger the little lawn and garden batteries pack a punch

Good luck
Hmmm, now you have my attention. I can't recall offhand - are the battery posts on the L&G batteries smaller diameter than standard automotive terminals?

Any recs on a good solar charger? I had one but it only lasted about two months. Can't recall the brand.
