Non OEM Battery Recommendation

Need to replace my battery in a 2011 R56. I have read that a group 47 and 48 will fit but some require mods. What have others successfully used without mods? Looking for the specific brands and model if you know it. It is a MCS.
Thanks

group 47 or 48? 47 is about the same size but is a little longer. 48 is much bigger in general. Which group?

The correct size is H5. All major auto parts stores have them.

Anything that is a drycell design is what you like Interstate, Optima, and Braille. Then you won't have to worry about venting it.
