Battery recommendations?

Hi there - I'm looking for battery recommendations for my 2000 SL600. As we know, the battery compartment is a tight-squeeze so I'm hoping to hear from folks who have replaced the battery in the last 1-2 years because these "products" come and go / are replaced with new models.

What are the current battery options which fit the best and provide the requisite cranking power for the V12?

Nothing has changed, look at the current battery label and replace with same.

Get the battery that the owner's manual specifies and pay attention to venting concerns (if any).

No mystery or urban "hack" in getting the right battery.
