My original battery was 72A and replaced it with the 77A version that also had more cold start cranking current.
In short get the better 77A one.  :smiley:

I recently got a Bosch S5 with 74amps and it's spot on. This is higher than original spec battery with higher cold cranking aswell. It is more than capable of doing the job. 5 year warranty too, so it's not really an issue! £75 with free delivery from eurocarparts if you use the latest 25% off code  :happy2:
