Alright so i picked up a bosch 750 cca battery and threw that in her on another -10 F day, cycled the glow plugs once and she fired up like it was a mid summer day. Hasnt given me any trouble since and its been nothing but cold here.
I'm using a Bosch Group 48 battery (it is 26 months old now) from Pep-boys. Their testing machine result says 'good battery' The guy at the store said, it was as good as a new one.

The best replacement battery i use in all my Vw's and other cars and trucks is Bosch..They are usually right over 100 bux but the are dependable, They also come with a 7 year warrenty.
Walmart everstart battery lasted about a year from my experience. This used car i bought came with a Bosch battery. it died right before 3 year free replacement. I took it to the pepboys and they gave new one for free.
I bought a Bosch for my car. Size 47. 600CCA at 0F, 750 at 32F (Part # S5531B) It's starts the car fine, but if the car has been sitting in the deep cold for 2 days.... it cranks a bit slow.
Aside from getting a defective Bosch battery that was replaced for fre I've never had a problem with either.
Now...my new Bosch battery I just bought for my 91 GTI...that thing is a POS. I should have bought an optima
