My wife's 2015 battery was getting sluggish so I replaced it before it left her stranded somewhere. Wally World has a group 35 'value' battery for $60 or the 'plus' version for $100. For the extra $40 you get 525 CCA vs 490 and two years of warranty rather than one. And the plus version only weighs about a pound more so there's probably not much difference in terms of construction or plate thickness.
It seems to me that buying the cheap one is the smart move economically since any battery that lasts a year is likely to last two. Even if it only lasts 2.5 years you're still coming out ahead. Were it not for the slight difference in CCA and weight I would assume they were the same battery and the extra cost is just paying for a better warranty.
