Default Replacement battery for C7

I am retiring and planning to ship my C7 overseas. Any suggestions for a good battery to buy for my C7 Stingray Convertible?

I replaced mine with this:

This Sears Diehard is size G48; Their Model 50748

Specs Compared to OEM:
CCA @ 0F: DieHard = 760; OEM = 565
20hr Ah: DieHard = 70; OEM = 70
RC DieHard =120; OEM
Weight DieHard = 44 lbs; OEM ~40 lbs

I like the Odyssey AGM, Part#0752-2020, Model 48-720, pricey but superior quality.

I just replaced mine with a ACDelco GOLD series professional grade battery with 42 month free replacement warranty...
I noticed my 2014 came with just a 36 month battery...list for $216, but only paid $138

Pardon the interruption ....looking to replace battery and wanted to know how the Gold 48HPG is holding up for you. Still have factory installed battery in my 2015.(Thanks) *Oh Yeah, did you loose your radio presets.

Changing the battery does not lose the radio presets.
