Just put a diehard gold in mine.So far so good and warranty on it is great. What i really wanted to get was the diehard platinum, from what i have read some have said they are an Odessy battery with just a different label on them and the warranty is like double what the gold battery is. They are sweet but expensive here is their product description
Product Description

Its corrosion-resistant high quality tin-coated brass terminals provide reliable starting power in all weather conditions. Its rugged, military-grade construction features robust casing for increased compression and offers superior vibration resistance, making it ideal for off-road applications.

* Longer off-season storage time - show cars & classic cars
* Ideal for luxury vehicles with multiple electronic accessories
* Plates made of 99.99% pure virgin lead
* High purity grade acid held safely in place by glass mats; non-spillable design
* Absorbed Glass Mat construction provides mounting flexibility & guarantees longer service life
* 4-Year Free Replacement; 100-Month Prorated Limited Warranty
