Car battery options.

I need a car battery as my one is completely drained. I jump started it but it wouldn't hold the charge any more.
I have two options,
1. I can buy the OEM battery from LingsHondaparts.com for £75.00.
2. Go for the lightweight battery on eBay (around £60ish). Good thing, it's weight saving. Bad thing, I don;t use the car often so it may get fooked even more then an OEM battery.
What do you guys think?

Can't comment on the battery itself that you should buy as I've never bought one for a Honda. Bought a cheap one for my Scirocco though, so far so good
As for your battery getting mullered, see here matey as I share your pain:

That ebay special lightweight battery has been good, ive had the car sat unused for a couple singular weeks at a time and its cranked the car over no problem, though I do have a battery cut off switch so it doesn't discharge...

Where is this lightweight battery for £60 TinTin as way too cheap for it to be any good.
