Default Upgrading the battery

Anyone here upgrade their battery and/or talk to their dealer for recommended upgrade options?

My 2.7 Eco came with a dry cell deep cycle from the factory.

Its probably an AGM which is not actually dry but absorbed, and I doubt its a deep cycle. They are not well suited for cranking batteries and will suffer a shortened lifespan when used as such.

the 2.7 does come with an upgraded heavy duty battery and starter due to the start stop feature.

Odyssey makes some of the best batteries on the market but they're expensive.
What they don't advertise is Odyssey actually makes the Die Hard Platinum batteries for Sears where they sell for almost half the price.
