Default Swap racing battery (PC680 Odyssey) for stock

Looking for a straight swap. I don't drive my car enough to keep this battery charged. Usually it can go for a few weeks if you gave it a good charge but since I may go weeks without driving the car I just need a normal stock battery now. It's probably 2 years old. I'm tired of jumping the car if I don't drive it for awhile. It'll be best if you can meet me at my apartment in Sunnyvale to do the swap since the car is sitting there now.

sounds like a good idea but the car is outside a lot so there's no outlets to plug it into

You should just go to costco and buy one. Then try to sell this one. It'll be easier than trading it.
