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.
Pros: 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.
Pros: fits OEM position perfectly
Vehicle:
Audi
I've also had great luck with AutoZone's Duralast Gold/Platinum batteries and they have better warranty than most others as well.
Pros: great reliability, good warranty
My last battery was a Duralast Gold and it lasted 7 years.
Pros: 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.
Pros: core refund
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I had my battery moment on my 2011 Outback, I bought a Duralast Gold 640 CCA and it's been working fine ever since.
Pros: working fine ever since
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Just replaced a Duralast (Autozone?) yesterday in my Silverado. It was from 11/09. It had a pretty good run in several vehicles of mine.
Pros: pretty good run
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Silverado
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.
Cons: inconvenience on newer cars
So ever since I put subwoofers in my car they seem to be killing my batteries. My original battery lasted about 2 years (car was barely used for these 2 years), battery after that lasted a year (replaced last summer), and now it seems as if my current battery is going. I wanted to grab food before going to work yesterday so I got some food at Mcdonalds and sat in my car for 20-30 mins eating and listening to music. I went to fill my car up with gas after work (gas station not even a mile away) and the car barely started, normally it turns over very quickly, you could tell the car was REALLY struggling due to battery (everything dimmed as well). This was at night so my headlights were on while I was filling up. At the beginning of summer I went to a drive-in and was able to watch an entire movie without my battery dying. The battery is a Duracell with 725 CCA and 890 CA @ 32F
Pros: watched movie without dying
Cons: short lifespan, struggles to start, dims lights
I had a duralast battery that I had originally bought for my beater mk2 that ended up in the Corrado, it then let go last week after only 11 months. I would go with the Bosch at all costs.
Cons: let go after 11 months
