Battery AC DELCO or Duralast
I’ve had two duralast batteries in my 02 24v and they’re so old I honestly can’t remember when I put them in. But I’d say they’re about 6-7 years old, probably more. When those batteries finally give up I’ll definitely be getting new duralast batteries.
I recently got a Duralast Platinum battery and it has proven to be very good so far
The battery you want is an AUX18L 20ah battery. I used [This battery](https://www.autozone.com/miscellaneous-non-automotive/power-sport-battery/duralast-gold-etx18l-group-btx24hl-agm-ready-to-ride-power-sport-battery-340-cca/350084_0_0?spps.s=4782) myself a month or so ago, it is an ETX18L and it has been working fine.
I just replaced my OEM H5/LN2 group 47-sized battery with a Duralast Platinum H5-AGM Group Size H5/LN2 680CCA battery. After having my mechanic change the settings in the ECU from EFB to Fleece for battery technology, 60Ah for rated capacity and set the date of install for the last 8 digits of the serial number, all seems to be fine. It fits the OEM position and cover perfectly.
I've also had great luck with AutoZone's Duralast Gold/Platinum batteries and they have better warranty than most others as well.
My last battery was a Duralast Gold and it lasted 7 years.
Picked up a Duralast Gold from Autozone back in July for my GLI. $155 after returning the OEM battery for the core refund.
Got a Duralast (I'm not driving an hour round-trip to the f'ing dealer to overpay for a battery). Another inconvenience on newer cars that's completely unnecessary. Really aggravating. Hoping it clears itself out shortly.
In March of this year I replaced my battery for 98 Civic Ex with an autozone Ac Delco one. With the colder days I started to notice slower cranks if the car had been sitting a day or longer.
I've gone through two VW batteries in 32K miles under three years. They suck. Just replaced it with a Duralast Gold from Autozone which has a 3 year full replacement warranty and 5 year prorated.
