you could fit a normal sized battery if your prepared to mod the battery tray a bit, the fuze box (think thats what it is) needs to move over and youd need a wider battery strap i think. was gonna do it when i got a new battery but couldnt be bothered in the end lol.

The tray on mine will take a fairly large battery. In my case I doubt it makes much difference what capacity is fitted.
