Battery Bosch or ODYSSEY
I am using Bosch battery for my BMW, going through my 2nd, it lasts for 2 years+, less than 50% of the price of the dealership
Also the original equipment Bosch battery that came in my wife's 2006 TDI Golf when we bought it in 2015. The good ones aren't available anymore by the time they wear out.
Going with Odyssey MK7.5. The one in my Raptor is awesome 3 years old and tests like it was new. Its not lighter but its a great battery. Try Braille batteries.
I've been using an Odyssey 925 in the Miata with no issues. It gets driven mostly on the weekends and a few times during the week but stays on a B&D 2 amp tender when not driven. I've had this setup for about 6 months so far and it works great for my particular situation with a 3rd car.
My truck has a 4 or 5 year old Bosch in it, still works great.
Factory exhaust manifold cooling and Bosch battery.
I purchased 2 as a drop in replacement for an old 1400VA APC UPS.
I couldn't find the datasheet on the bosch website but I found out via a few online posts that these batteries are actually manufactured by Exide.
At one time Bosch batteries had a terrible reputation but they now have their quality control back on track.
I've had a few of the Odyssey batteries... Never lasted more than about 14-18 months before dead. Take a look at these: https://shop.antigravitybatteries.com/products/starter-batteries/automotive/ag-h6-rs/
I used Odysseys PC-680 on other cars, particularly on Evos. They weight about 15lbs and they free up spaces dramatically but the reliability is awful. I went through 3 of them once. They will start the car with a little bit of difficulty but don't try to start the car with the A/C , the radio etc because they can't.
