What's the "right" battery if I might drain it dead?

[davepl]

Some of my vehicles don't get driven very often, and if I forget to put a maintenance charger on it, it's really hard on most batteries to be allowed to drain until dead.

Are there any batteries that are more "tolerant" of that? Of course the solution is not to do it, but if an Optima can take that and laugh it off, it might be worth the price premium.

If not, am I as good off grabbing a generic Costco battery as anything else?

I'd prefer to buy online if I can get it at a decent price (nothing local to patronize, and if I can avoid an hour round trip, I will!).

Thanks,
Dave
