FYI, I just had to replace the Bosch branded battery (part number 35-640B) in a car (2014 Mazda 2) belonging to a family member. I don't know when they bought the battery but I was rather surprised to find that it was dated Dec 2017. It was only fully warrantied for 3 years so it lasted longer (~ 5 1/2 years) than I would have expected. I believe that they bought the battery at Pep Boys, that's where they got most of their routine maintenance done.
 
What brand / type / rating did you select for its replacement?

I assume you stayed with G35.

Hope you scored a sale!
I wish! Nope, the battery died and I needed to get another ASAP so I bought one at Walmart. Not sure what number it was but it was whatever Walmart recommended and it fit perfectly. Actually I took the core back just after posting the first message this AM and I noticed a sticker on the battery that said that it was sold in Jan 2018 so it lasted 5 years plus 3 or 4 months.

For me, batteries are never on sale when I need one!
