I use an 063 , good output and a good fit in the battery box and sensible money too,some will use a bigger one but ive not found it nesassary unless you have a really big stereo.

075 but get the lead type as I seem to think these newer type are not right for older cars.

As when they go flat flat as in dead there trashed or the Yuasa 12V Silver do.

And they seem to go flat quicker. Might be just me tho.

I use the Halfords HCB013 - its a Pug 306 Diesel battery, loads of cranking power and the correct size for the battery box in the boot.
