You want a plain lead acid, usually they last 8+ years if of suitable spec and you either do decent miles fairly often or use a battery maintainer - ctek/etc.

Multiple posts (use Search) tell you more.

Default Battery issue

thank you for the info, this is not a daily driver, more of a weekend fun ride. I am going to get a maintainer and have been doing some research on the CTEK which seems to have the less problems.
