I always put the largest battery I can fit into the battery box. Extra sixe will not hurt, and may come in handy - like when we use our garden tractor for booster battery service. Larger battery will have more current if you leave accessories on accidentally, need more cranking because engine is playing hard to start, or difficult on cold weather, etc. Many stores used to have one price for all sizes in a life warranty group, no matter what the size of the battery. Never forget the look on the face of the clerk in Sears one time a few years back.... Went in and asked for the biggest battery they had. "Whacha you gonna put it in? Again I asked for the biggest battery they had, again: "Whacha gonna out it in?" Answered "Vega, now sell me the biggest battery you have." "Whatchya want is this: (pointing to a battery that looked like it belonged in a lawn tractor.)" "Nope, what I want looks like that, (Pointing to a battery that looked like it came out of a Linclon Continental)!" Well, he groused all the time he was writing up the sales slip and I was writing the check - Finally sez, "Well I want to see you put that in a Vega..." "OK," sez I, "Would you get the door for me?" I walked out, opened the hatchback, set the battery in back, closed the hatch, and drove off. Clerk was standing there with his jaw flapping. Actually took battery home and put it in another Vega, only modification I made was bending the lip of the battery tray down, so battery could overhang the end of the tray. Served me well in a car with more than one 2-way radios in it, some of which were in use when engine wasn't running. Think I had the last laugh!
