Unless you've got some exotic stereo install just get any old battery.. save your pennies for more important things.

Halfords calcium is pretty good and easy to get hold of. Far better than OE battery in my 03STi.

I will be getting a Halfords number 065 - Size is perfect for those with FMIC pipes that run close to the battery.
