Default New Battery time bosch or not?

I need a new battery for my classic 00 now after looking around the bosch seems a good choice but theres 2 versions but they seem identical any idea or should I choose something else?

theres a 005 and a 005R version both have same ratings

I can get this from my local autofactor for £68 with a 5 year warrenty.

Think you will find that the 005 and 005R relate to the pole (connections) lay out.

I got the S5, for the sake of a couple of quid (paid 60 for it at local factors) it has the best cold cranking power etc and only comes in the one format I believe for the 005 type.

I went for the Exide one from Euro Car Parts as the CCA was higher than the Bosch, also the price was slightly more. Use discount code WEBSAVER20 for 20% off

Well looking at the pictures the pole types are the same so im still unsure on the difference
