hello new to the forums and this is my first post =] 

 

I'm having to upgrade from a 038 battery in my 1995 sprite and am wondering if the 075 battery from Halfords is worth the extra money over the 063?

 

also wondering if they both still fit the battery box as all the posts iv read on here are older and not sure if they have changed the dimensions

Fit a 065. More than enough.

I run an 063 on all my minis, they start first turn when not left to drain for more than a week. Avoid Yuasa and Halfords batteries... Bosch or Exide are the batteries of choice

The important thing with a battery is not the amp-hours, but the CCA (Cold Crank Amps). Get the highest CCA you can.
