Im no battery expert but high CCAs is what you are after and then the money you want to spend. Shop around as most shops up here vary for the same product.

Get the one we got for pips car from brocky. You could go smaller, but then it wouldn't fit the battery box very well

I can get you a real sharp price on a battery Greg.
My staff discount though work at century-yuasa is a real good deal. I'd hate to think how many batterys my work must buy.
