Mini cooper 2013 car battery advice

I am looking at purchasing a car battery for my mini as it needs replacing.  After jump starting the car battery dies if not used in 1 or 2 days. I don't want to spend too much money on a battery as the plan is to sell the car after it's mot due on 1 March 2021.  Can anyone advice where I can get a good battery which is not to expensive?

Thanks in advance

    Your local independent motor factor.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    As your Mini will no doubt have start/stop and therefore an AGM battery, it isn't going to be cheap to replace and it will also require registration, possibly coding.

    If you're battery isn't completely stuffed then you should be able to charge it enough, at least to get it passed it's MOT and for you to sell it on.
