That is the one that it should be to operate the hood etc, do not go smaller and make sure that you get a Bosch,Exide, Banner Lucus and not a house name like Halfords

Consider Elecsol Carbon Fibre batteries, 5 year guarantee, much lighter than lead-acid, so for the same size-weight, you get a much more powerful battery.

Ive used them in my ML and Motorhome for 6 years, very reliable units.
