Just buy a normal 75ah starter battery that fits....
have you checked the wiki for information on this subject?
it's very comprehesive

Can the leisure battery be a bigger ah than the starter?

Being a nicompoop when it comes to most things electrical would I have no problems fitting an Elecsol 100ah leisure battery? Would it recharge fully OK?
They are £90odd from
www.tayna.co.uk but fit under the seats perfectly and should last longer than starter batteries given my tendancy to run the MP3 radio off it at every given opportunity whilst camped

True deep cycle or Traction batteries (fork truck) have thinner plates and release their energy slower as they do not need the kick for starter motors.
alas they are expensive and have to be built in banks (2v or 6v)
the more amp hours you have the longer it will last
PS I would like the manufacturers of semi traction batteries to explain the meaning of that term

Gone for an 096 code battery for £47 at a local dealer. It's off a BMW X3, it's 72ah and fits under the seat
