Connect ....Pos+ first..... then Neg- when refitting.
Avoids short circuits

I checked, and it seems that the battery dimensions are:
Width: 242mm
Depth: 175mm
Height: 175mm
Now, the best battery that will fit, is the Yuasa YBX9027, with 60Ah and 680CCA. This is at 190mm high so, unless your cables are already at maximum reach, it should be fine.
There's also a Hankook job, with 95Ah!...and 720CCA! Annoyingly though, the battery tray would need to be wide enough to accommodate its 304mm width. Plus it's prob too high at 220mm.

I noticed that. The thing is, those reg no wizards are notoriously inaccurate.
I entered model info on eBay and just went on the battery's listed.
So, ultimately, not 100% sure.
But looking at it logically, the depth is the same at 170/5mm. The width is only 12mm diff. So they'll be okay (unless your tray is right on the limits, widthwise).
The main diff. therefore is the height, your posted batt being 33mm higher (the YBX9027 is actually 190mm high). So if the one you posted IS correct, this means that the Yuasa is lower....so should be okay for the cables to still reach.
FTR, the battery I have on at the mo happens to be 15-20mm lower than it should be, and the RCM mechanic had no issue getting the cables on the posts.

The YUASA YBX9027 is "designed" for start/stop applications.
YBX5005 (65/550) is the silver high performance battery usually fitted.
