My experience with off brand regular battery is once it gets drained below 25% it's not long for this world. I know I'll hear all about the battery that got drained dead multiple times and lasted 50 years I would say those are the exception to the rule. I run off brand batteries in my truck and usually only get a year or two out of them, I have to keep it on a trickle charger year round as I have a draw that I have not been able to find so they tend to get low occasionally. I have a red top and a yellow top optima in my Porsches that I keep trickle chargers on as well but also have cut off switches, the yellow top is 6 years old and the red top is 3. Both have been run low, buy low I mean dead, with no issues yet. I would see if you can locate a short if there is one but also install a cut off switch, cheap insurance.
