If you maintain more than one car and can afford it I’d recommend getting a modern battery tester. I have always suspected they were nowhere near as good as a traditional load tester. However, I watched a (non-advertising) video online about them and decided to get one.
I have got a Yuasa battery in one of my 940s which came with a car I bought in 2011. It has never let me down and I condition it on a Ctek charger periodically so I was minded it would last forever. However, I tested it the other evening and the results have disavowed me of that idea. See picture!
If you can get an 096 type battery in the battery tray then that is certainly a heavy duty option. Personally, I prefer 027 or 075 size batteries as they are easier to manoeuvre into position. I find either nowadays comfortably exceeds the original specification in the owner’s manual.
