I have a Champion P460D Battery... by EXIDE...
It fits in the space and is bolted in....
I always buy the largest capacity battery I can fit in....
There isn't much info on batteries these days.....

You could try cleaning the contacts between the Battery Earth strap and the chassis where it bolts on... also replace the bolt with a longer one, and put another strap on the end of the longer bolt & nut and the gearbox.... to give the starter motor all the amps that are available from Your Battery.... every contact should be shiny & new looking...
