Battery replacement - suggested models

[jMeG]

It's getting to that time where most Gen 6's will need a new battery.

 

I've read through the forums, and no clear consensus exists beyond the factory battery is terrible and underpowered.

 

What is everyone installing?

 

Options:

OEM - Group 25

Upgraded - Group 25 AGM battery

Higher CCA - Group 34 battery

Higher CCA - Group 34 AGM battery

Something else?????

 

What are your suggestions and experiences?

I wonder if the higher CCA really produces a faster crank speed when starting. The current CCA (I think 300) oem batteries seem woefully slow to crank in the cold temps.

From my research last fall, it seemed like if you want to step up your battery, group 34 provided the most options and fits well.
