Matty, Here is the standard battery - Banner Starting Bull but I'd be inclined to search around the Wonder Web for a similar size but with a higher current rating capacity, in particular in excess of the original's CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) rating of just 300a I made a note somewhere of a replacement I'd earmarked, but I've umm, misplaced it as I write..

Hi Matty
There was a previous post by kriss recommending the VARTA battery, part no. 540 126 033 3132, which, according to kriss, has 50% more power than the standard battery.
Please let us know how you get on because I think I will be going down the same route pretty soon.

When I had a look for the Varta it had round terminals so will need terminal mods to fit & terminals can be handed
