Heavy duty battery choices?

Hi all, plenty of comments on batteries in the search option, but I'm asking for information on the 'best' heavy duty battery available for my F2. I have a LHD, HSE 2007 and want to buy the most robust, heavy-duty battery I can fit in an effort to eliminate the battery as possible problem..

Over here Varta (often rebranded as Bosch) has a good reputation.

Any suggestions? Not forgetting the terminals for a lhd may be other way aroind. Only dead fish go with the flow

Best I can find over here is a Varta Blue. 74ah/680ah ref E11. Ref5740120683132

Anyone else using this brand? Only dead fish go with the flow

When I changed mine I got a Duracell heavy duty it's been excellent.

I replaced mine with Exide 85A with 800CCA, good price and better performance from the original which was also made by Exide.
Fit perfect in place and looks exactly like the original.

Thanks for the replies. I could only find the E850 on a Polish and a German website so finally ordered an Exide EA770 which is more powerful than the original (77ah/760a) but the same size and brand. Only dead fish go with the flow
