Battery Exide or Duralast
Last batteries I’ve owned where Exide Sonnak, very happy with price, longevity and performance.
Pros: price, longevity, performance
Exide are good made in usa
Pros: good quality, made in USA
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.
Pros: exceptional longevity, reliable
I recently got a Duralast Platinum battery and it has proven to be very good so far
Pros: very good performance

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 purchased an Exide battery at Home Depot yesterday for my 2002 Jetta Wagon. It was only $109.99.....about $50 less expensive than anything comparable in any of the big 4 parts stores, locally. It also has the best warranty of all of them (3 year replacement).
Pros: best warranty, less expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
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

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
My Tiguan factory battery was an Exide and it failed after 2 years, mostly in the Northeast US weather.
Pros: failed after 2 years
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
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.

Cons: batteries suck
