Morning all

Looking for some advice please. I have a wee VW Up! 2012 with Bluemotion Stop/Start.

It requires a new battery so have been on the hunt but noticed differences in amps. I didn't realise batteries are specific to stop/start cars until I looked into this.

Some are 680 / 640 / 520. Any idea which one I should go with? Seems more choices with 520.

Also if I fit this myself can I disconnect everything completely or will this bugger things up and require resets which I cant do without the correct software? I noticed a video where the 'computer' remained connected to an alternative battery while the battery was changed.

Sorry if information is available, have been searching about but info is not forth coming.

Many thanks
