Question Lightweight Battery...what are my options?

Ok guys, I'm in the market for a lightweight battery to drop a little more weight. What are some good aftermarket lightweight batteries that I should be looking at? Basically my car is a weekend car that sees the road like 2-3 days a week so I don't want to have to be charging the battery before I try to start it.

My battery is still going strong. I have let it site for up to 7 days with the alarm activated and It started right up.
