Battery Trouble

So my battery died while I am shopping for my daughter. I might have warranty coverage on a new one from the dealership for 50% of the price of the battery and free install blah blah blah. But I might be past that part of my coverage. So the question I have is what do I do? buy a battery similar to the stock battery, or invest in a mini battery? I dont plan on doing too many upgrades to my car which would require a mini battery. Or is there maybe a full size battery that I am not thinking of, any help would be great.

I am 1 1/2 months past the 50% coverage. How unlucky.

Good luck on the tray. If you can post a pic. I'm thinking of putting a gel cell in.

So here is the 95% finished product. I went to home depot and bought coupling rods to place over the stock tie downs and used the stock tray and bracket.
It does not even move when I try to shake it. I will paint it black later
