Default Battery for 2016 F type R?

Anyone changed their battery for a 2016? I am not sure if there are two batteries (one main and one smaller)? I am looking at replacing the main one. It looks like the pricing is roughly $220 from Advance and would be curious to know a ballpark on any dealer pricing if you replaced yours at a dealer. Also is there any discernible difference between non-OEM and OEM on this? I wouldn't think so but curious on any opinions.

Where did you get yours from, the dealer or from Autozone/Advance? I was looking on Advance auto zone parts, and one page says this battery would work with it, but the next page says it wouldn't. Do you know if this one is compatible with the 16MY? "DieHard Platinum AGM Battery, Group Size H8, 900 CCA"

I put a Duralast Platinum from AutoZone ($199) in my ‘14 in June, 5k+ miles ago. No issues. I have a 2nd battery, but have ignored it.

Geez, I wish I could get a replacement battery (when the time comes) for those prices!
Over here I am looking at $500 AU minimum and pushing $700 AU for the OEM Varta version.
No DieHard or Duralast or Interstate here.
