Can anyone confirm this battery would be suitable? Or if there's a better one available?

eBay Item No. 360816787328

My current one is not holding it's charge. It's a Varta 95Ah 450A. Don't think it's OEM as I'm guessing Lambo re-badge the ones they supply. I'm assuming the 100Ah 830A I've linked above would be better in our climate? Car is garaged but it's not heated. I use a CTEK MSX 5.0 which is hard wired at the moment to the old one.

they are shipped with varta from the factory...... and not rebranded.....

its the CCA thats most important...... H3 as linked, G3 or G14 will all be a straight swap.

Hi proof. The G14 is AGM. Heard they're pretty good but is it suited to the eGear? I have one in my 3 series which is start/stop. Would rather get the best available as it means I won't be taking the boot liner out again for some time.
