After reading all replies and knowing the price of the dealers option, I took my chance with a Exide battery AGM 12-23, it was a perfect fit.
I’ve always used Yuasa and always get at least 7 year’s life
I don't think they are good at inverters, but I have used their battery for ups which lasted 4 years, now i am using the second one which completed one year
VW lists 3 batteries, 1 AGM (68 Ah, Varta) and 2 flooded (72 Ah, Varta and 59 Ah, Exide) that may be used.
I had an oem yuasa last like 15 years...replaced it with another yuasa thats over 4 years old now...no issues so
I ran a yuasa in my victory for nine years. It is now on its second life in my lawn tractor- 2 years and still going strong. Battery tenders for the win.
A Yuasa is the best I've ever found.
This one looks like it’s in very good shape, I’ve seen similar for sale for $200 to $300 but the couple I’ve seen at auction sold for $80 and $110 if my memory is correct. Both where in much worse shape than yours.
I'm using a Yuasa with a 4 year warranty. The optima yellow is good but not worth 3 and half times the price for twice the life span of a normal battery unless you plan on deep discharging it a few times. I just think they're a little over priced for what you get.
Put a Yuasa in my Street triple and it lasted 1.5 years almost exactly. Would keep it on the tender in cold months every so often, never killed it or discharged it, and still died which was disappointing for the price and the “OEM” brand.
