Anyone know if there is an AGM battery available that will fit in a Mini battery box?

Car is '68 MkII 'S'.

Any clues?  I've tried googling '063 AGM battery', 'Classic Mini AGM battery' etc. but nothing coming up.  Manufacturer?  Supplier?  Any help gratefully received.

Try a Varley red top 35.

May I ask why you need an AGM battery.

Over on this side of the Atlantic I run an Optima D34 yellow top AGM 55ah 750amp. To answer nicklouse I use one because no leaking, no fumes.

Mostly because I am already getting signs of corrosion in my new boot floor/battery box from acid fumes after only 4 years.

 

Thanks for the leads!
