I bought my battery from Maplin.co.uk. They specify the dimensions so it
should be easy enough to work out which one will fit.

Incidentally my battery is still the original one that I fitted in 1999. I
don't know how to test it's condition, but it holds at 11.8V on receive for
longer than I could be bothered waiting.
