2.8 battery needed

I need to renew the battery on my wedge, with a 2.8 engine the space is only small, can anyone suggest a replacement.

Just been through this last week. The Tasmin 200 has the battery located on the drivers side between the wing and the pedal box. This gives a maximum width for the battery of 160mm. I tried for days to get a battery to fit in this space that was more than 380 CCA. It seems most of the bigger batteries are 170mm wide, then this drops down to about 130mm. By a stroke of luck I found a Crompton Heavy Duty Performance Battery Type 110.It's 135Ah with 675 SAE CCA. It's 235mm long x 125mm wide x 220mm high. The old battery was 45Ah and 380CCA for the same size.
I couldn't find this listed on the web and none of the specialist battery places I rang offered it as an option.
Hope this helps.
