replacement for 2017 VW Passat 3.6 OEM battery
The OEM Enertec 5k0 915105 D battery was near end of life for my V6 Passat. This 48H6-RP battery has much higher Amp hours (100Ah = 730CCA / 7.25) compared to the stock 72Ah and easily turns the engine over and powers all the electronics in the car.
VW/Audis use a Battery Energy Management system with their ECUs monitoring the battery and charging it with the alternator as needed. Because of this, AAP warns it needs special installation. If you have a OBD II port tool that can recode the battery field in the ECU, this will work fine despite not having a BEM code on the top of the battery. The BEM code for this battery would look like 100-JCB-XXXXXXXXXX. Where 100 is the Amp hours, JCB is the Johnson Control manufacturer, and X represent the 10 digit serial # that would be found on the UPC or elsewhere on the battery. I used my VCDS tool and took all of 15 minutes to install this battery.
AAP please list the actual spec'd Amp hours of all your batteries so people can compare batteries intelligently. the fact so many questions are posted without good answers is telling.

Small extra cost vs the gold battery is worth it
My 2018 GMC Acadia eats batteries. This 6 year old vehicle is now on its third battery. I went back to my local store for another battery purchase and asked if I was able to get a prorated discount because I had been told that this battery has a 4 warranty. I was pleasantly surprised when the Advanced Auto Parts guy said that I qualified for a free new battery! If I had purchased the less expensive battery I would be out for the entire cost because the purchase date was 2 years and 8 days ago and the less expensive battery only has a 2 year warranty. The battery replacement warranties are so much better than the prorated warranties of old.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
