Best Battery for Volkswagen Golf
FWIW, my post is the top one, I did not go with an OEM battery after reading through other threads where users had issues finding one in stock and instead went with the Optima YellowTop that was recommended on their site. I have had zero issues.
Pros: zero issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Also the original equipment Bosch battery that came in my wife's 2006 TDI Golf when we bought it in 2015. The good ones aren't available anymore by the time they wear out.
Pros: original equipment
Cons: not available anymore

My yellow top in my mk1 is 8 years old. My yellow ro in my R is 7 months old. They're great.
Pros: They're great

Going with Odyssey MK7.5. The one in my Raptor is awesome 3 years old and tests like it was new. Its not lighter but its a great battery. Try Braille batteries.
Pros: awesome, great battery
Cons: not lighter

My MK7 is still rocking the Varta OEM battery from 2015 since new, and my MK4 has a "duralast" Gold H5 which has a 1/2016 stamp on it and it is still doing fine.
Pros: still doing fine

VW OEM batteries in modern cars often do that. I was lucky to detect slightly "lazy" cranking in my 2018 GSW 4Mo. Tested and showed %51 SOH even after fully charging it. Lasted 6 years almost to the date.
Pros: lasted 6 years
Cons: lazy cranking, low state of health

My golf 2010 VW dashboard ****s down but car remains running. When it don't start take out the battery touch the two cables together with out the battery. For 15 seconds to reboot the car and it starts back.
Pros: reboot the car
Cons: dashboard shuts down
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I'd be more concerned about the Optima battery - they have been crap quality for years now. Probably better than VW OEM junk though.
Pros: better than VW OEM
Cons: crap quality

I just upgraded mine a few weeks ago, ended up getting a DEKA AGM 9AGM47 More CCA and far more reserve capacity than the stock battery (120 mins) I was at ~35k miles and my OEM battery was failing fast.. I couldn't leave it in the accessory position without the engine running for more than a minute or two or it would barely be able to crank. The OEM battery is crap as far as I'm concerned
Pros: more CCA, more capacity
Cons: OEM battery is crap
