Default Battery dimensions

I'm at work and my car is stuck at home, I'm researching the purchase of a new battery. I wondered if anyone happened to know the dimensions of the oem battery, or indeed the tray it sits in?

I've been using various sites to get recommendations and they're often different sizes.

Varta themselves recommend:

Quote:
Article number 585 200 080 3162
Product line SILVER dynamic
Voltage [V] 12
Battery Capacity [Ah] 85
Cold-test Current, EN [A] 800
Length [mm] 315
Width [mm] 175
Height [mm] 175
Hold-down Type B13 Zoom

Pole Positions 0 Zoom

Terminal Type 1
SC F18
Which is slightly different to Tayna:

Quote:
Type 096 Varta Silver Dynamic Car Battery 12V 74Ah
(Short Code: E38)
(Varta DIN: 575 121 072 or 574 402 075)
Specifications
Voltage - 12V
Capacity - 74Ah
CCA(EN) - 750A

Dimensions(mm)
278 x 175 x 175
I'm awaiting a price on the first, but I prefer it to the second because of the higher spec. But as you can see from above, the length is different.

Thanks in advance.
