Battery Bosch or Duralast
This is really straightforward to do. I replaced mine last September and was concerned about coding or needing to go to the dealer. My 2017 required none of that. Just take the old battery out and put a new one in. You'll have dash lights on afterwards, but all you need to do is turn the wheel all the way to one side and then the other.
I replaced mine in my driveway with a same size AutoZone Duralast Gold. With a coupon, I was out the door for less than $200. The car wintered outdoors at a Vermont ski resort and always started.
I JUST replaced my wife's 2013 Beetle battery with a Duralast from Autozone.
I use a Group 27 battery in my Mustang and have found Bosch to work very well for me.
I used the duralast from autozone.
I use duralast and get about 4 years on a battery. No complaints at all.
looking at that reciept seeing Enhanced flooded its even worse, we are a main dealer of Bosch batteries and their EFB rated voltage is 12.6V when not in use not sure for the other big battery brands
New battery fitted and all ok for about 2 months, then same problem. Took new battery out (AGM Bosch S5 A08) and charged it on the bench, left it there overnight. Next morning its reading 12.2v.
I bought these both for the same exact car but both the box and product appear very different, and the bottom set ended up being ridden with parasitic drain!
Bosch batteries are no poorly made in china
