Default xr8 battery problem

hello all ive got an au xr8 that the battery keeps going flat ive been to shop to buy a new one they said the cca is down from 480 to 225 the battery is dead and the terminals are wrong and they didnt have any in stock so i went to another shop and they told me that the battery is fine but as i only drive a couple times a week the new battery will keep going flat as well so i called a 3rd shop and they told me i should install an isolator so now everytime i want to go out i have to charge up the jumper battery thingy first then jump start the car i also tried calling an auto electrician and he said i dont need an isolator and it seems like something is draining the battery so we made arrangements for me to call him the following day which i did but his phone was off so i left a message but so far no return call that was 4 days ago im still hoping he will call
any ideas as to where i can get a battery that wont go flat all the time

cheers
