I need to replace my battery. Found one on ebay for a good price. Checked against my current battery specs and it seems it would fit. Ebay system says incompatible but not trusting it, I asked the seller and they also said not compatible, and sent me a link to another battery which they said would fit, but that one has different dimensions (?).

Here are the links:

Original battery I found:

Seller recommended:

I also found specs of my current battery online: http://exide.info/spec/eb442.html

Can someone advise which is the right battery? Thanks.

Edit: talking to my friend, he says it's possible my car had a wrong battery all along. When I bought it it was without history and I keep finding strange things about it, so I wouldn't be surprised

Edit2: upon further investigation, the batteries seem to differ only with height, the first one is 175mm, the second 190mm. Cold cranking amperage 340A and 330A respectively. But second one is £20 more expensive. So it would seem they are just trying to rip me off.
