Definitely get a battery tender. That's why they're dying. Have you tried jump starting them when they die and let it run for a bit? That will recharge it after it sat for a while and died. You probably didn't need to replace them every time. Just needed to recharge them with your alternator.

If they do go bad get them replaced for free. Wal-mart offers "three years free replacement warranty plus two years prorated replacement warranty".

I haven't used my car much like you, I have warranteed 2 batteries from Sears since 2010.
