As Ron says buy the best you can afford you want high amps and the higher cold cranking amps ( CCA ) the better. The one you linked to seems ok with 4 year warranty but bear in mind if it goes faulty and you have to return it. Have you got a local factors close to you they have good deals usually on batteries.
Are we there yet?????

Do you have a GSF outlet close to you - good batteries at fair prices.

Guys.
And will it possible to buy in UK original battery by PSA - Tudor.
It's not an advertisment because my original Tudor served me during 6 years.
For our climat it's very good.
It was many cold starts at a temperature lower that -33 Celsius degrees with high humidity
and was very hot summers. I never ever charged original battery.

My 56plate Berlingo still has the original Tudor battery fitted and is still going strong. Never been charged other than by the alternator, never let me down despite lots of very early morning cold starts when getting me to my work as a snowplow driver in winter. Van has only done a genuine 29000 miles since I bought it brand new.
