Default Modding for Odyssey Battery--help!

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could help/advise me.

I am interested in getting an Odyssey Dry Cell battery to put in my M50 since due to things I have to bring to school, weather, allergies, etc. I cannot always ride my bike. If I go longer than 2 weeks between rides I have a dead battery. My current battery will no longer hold a charge for any length of time, therefore I'm looking into getting an Odyssey Battery since it can go longer between charges.

The problem is that the Odyssey the battery shop recommends is 1" wider than my current battery, and as you know the battery fits quite snug in the compartment under the seat.

Anyone know if there is a way to widen the compartment or any other solutions?

Trickle charging is out since I live in a condo with no plugs anywhere near the parking area.
