Battery recommendations

[Searide]

Does anyone have battery recommendations to replace that one that I had in my 2011 GTI SE? I was thinking about going to the dealer but I wanted to check for other options before doing so? I checked the manual for the requirements but I was wondering if there is anything else that I need to consider when purchasing a new battery. Thanks

Get a good quality AGM sealed battery. AGM will take vibration better and won't lose fluid. $120 each. Don't get the ones from the discount auto parts store.

Thanks. Any particular brand of AGM battery? Does it need to be marine specific or is it just a powersport battery?

Something that a Harley high vibration batteries would survive. Made in U.S.

Do NOT buy a cheap or no-name Gel Cell. I bought one from a local auto parts store and it started my ski twice and then threw 11 codes. I was pretty much forced to buy a Candoo Pro so that I could pull and clear the codes. I have been wanting one, but the crap battery forced the issue.
