Why does the size matter? Unless you've got a bangin' sound system that you'll use with the engine off in maccy's car park?I've never had a flat battery since buying the Bosch one, and that's just standard size. Has decent spec though.
This is the one I have, but was on a better offer when I bought it tbf!!

Yeah thats the best one they sell, they do this one but its only advertised on ebay and not their actual sitehttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-S6-AGM-G...4d1559eaa9
That's probably beyond your requirements tbf - ' Bosch S6 AGM Gel Car batteries are factory fitted to the Rolls Roye Phantom, Bentley Continental GT, Porsche Cayenne and many other luxury vehicles.'
And yes they did make that spelling error in the listing.

Never had issues with any other batteries, even cheap no-names brands, only Bosch - go figure.
Personally, I'd just get whatever has a decent warranty for a good price from a local supplier in 065 or 075 size and it'll be fine.
That's surprising tbh, you're the first I've heard complain about them!!
I even persuaded my Dad to buy one (just an S3 as he's tight lol) after killing two cheap batteries on his 1 miles commute in winter lol and its still good 2 years later.
