Thanks GolfDave again for the detailed DIY., my standard 56ah battery, was its way out (3 yrs old)., with difficulty starting and occasional no enough power to start.
After researching with 70ah AGM Batteries (Interstate, Duracell and Duralast Autozone battery)., settled with the Duralast with 3yr replacement warranty one.
Fits perfectly on the craddle/base. Had a fibre/felt battery cover that did not fit (since the new duralast is bigger)., but was able to modify the sleeve (cut and reattached it to make it bigger.
Even the VCDS coding was very straight forward-
Battery Type
Battery Capacity
Serial Number.
Attached is the duralast battery model and spec, in case if someone is looking for it.
Glad you got it all done OK....& 3yrs isn't much compared to older cars & batteries...but is common on the MK7 Golfs & other MQB platform cars...
