What engine have you got? That battery seems a bit feeble for a diesel, although I'm sure some others only have 70Amp/Hr. Mine's 90Amp/Hrs with 800cca from am Ebay supplier, but I can't remember who :oops:

Petrols only need wimps batteries, so it should be fine :D
Just measure the one you've got and compare the details to see if it will fit. If the terminals are the same way round as the diesel (which they probably are) you'll need the 069 version 8) Or, for an extra couple of quid and more power, the 072 version.

This is the one I fitted to both our diesel Freda and our boat does a great job.
