Regular care is a must, for if it in bad shape, the car will refuse to move. "Push-start" is a solution but cannot be carried on for long. A well-maintained battery lasts for two years.

Yea! what he said
FYI- Push- starts don't work too well with a centrifugal clutch

But seriously- Just get a motorcyce battery from Walmart. Best bang for the buck. It will work fine for you. just insure you get the size that fits your box
