My Mechanic had me get non-AGM style from Deka. I have the dual battery setup, and have drained my spare a few times already and it’s out performed the previous brands.
Pros: outperformed previous brands, withstood draining

I really like the Deka ETX12. Point is these batteries are bulletproof. They last longer than any other battery I have ever gotten. I highly recommend them.
Pros: bulletproof, long lasting
Part number: ETX12
I currently run a Deka Intimidator in my rig and it's been problem free for 3 years now
Pros: problem free
Deka ETX15, Deka makes a great battery and they’re sold under a few manufacturers.
Pros: great battery
Part number: ETX15
I use Deka for all of my cars and they take Minnesota winters like a champ
Pros: takes winters like champ
Deka is the best I’ve found.
Pros: best performance
Yes and you can go the route I suggested earlier, with a Group 47 AGM , Deka brand. I paid $135 for mine 4 years ago at Battery Mart. Fit is good, just add a wedge under the battery hold clamp. Cannot leak acid due to the design. I run diesel farm tractors, too. AGM's are the only batteries I can get a decent life from due to the vibration. The extra capacity over the standard lead acid batteries is great for the cold morning diesel start. My point is that they are quite durable. An AGM for a Rabbit is not overkill when you consider the quality problems in regular lead-acid batteries these days.
Pros: durable, cannot leak acid
Cons: add a wedge
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 47
I've always been a fan of Deka batteries, their ETX15 should be the correct battery.
Pros: good batteries
Part number: ETX15
Deka aka East Penn is the best battery manufacturer out there. They dont leak as much, they last typically 3-6 years depending on circumstances
Pros: best battery manufacturer
Cons: depends on circumstances
Switched to a stock mk5 4cyl battery though as the Deka couldn't handle sitting for more than a couple days without being on a trickle charger.
Cons: couldn't handle sitting
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
