There are plenty of previous posts on this subject with further referred posts, such as :-

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17770&p=144972&hili ... ry#p144972

The only issue may be if some of these batteries are still available since the dates these posts were made. An important point made was to consider batteries with the terminals outboard, rather than inboard to avoid shorting out the battery on the heater fan assembly when installing or removing the battery.

This later post may help :-
