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
Just use a Deka ETX20L. I think they're 15 pounds or so and they're cheap and widely available. Mine seem to last about 2-3 years, although they usually die from me forgetting to turn the headlights off. I was able to recharge my last one using a wall charger and I squeezed another 6 months out of it before finally replacing it.
Pros: cheap, widely available
Cons: last about 2-3 years
Part number: ETX-20L
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
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
I'm using Deka. But it's a good choice. I haven't any problems with it.
Pros: good choice, no problems
