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:

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.
