There are quite small 12V batteries, as in 12V type 3's. You need to CHECK the terminals are on the correct side, ie to match the position of the
clamps. Some won't work -- despite fitting into the space. Also height may need to be checked. If the shop doesn't have one to fit, they should
be able to order one.

Recessed terminals is the way to go as well as a cover over the positive terminal.

Good News
Don't forget to place something over the battery so when some one gets onto the rear seat on their knees and the seat springs hit the positive
terminal....
that"s how many early Beetles went up in flames..
