I fitted the biggest Bosch battery that went in the hole - not sure whether the dimensions are the same between the Junior and Standard?

Put any old battery in the hole and spend your money on a GOOD Jump Pack

Since fitting a 70ah Bosch mine has been on the key whatever the temperature - no jumping or charging required! The discharge capacity is more important than the physical size, though they generally do correlate!

Banner Batteries seem to be good cheaper alternative to Bosch and look a little more 'traditional'.

Costco seem to offer the best value on Bosch batteries if you have a card.
