    Replacement Battery for RD07A

    Hello; a bit of advice needed if anyone has the time.

    Looks like the battery on my 2000 AT is breaking down (voltage collapses under load, worse in cold than when warm, been an on/off problem for a month or so and been diagnosed by a friendly and helpful AA man yesterday after going completely and leaving me unable to start).

    Anyone know if this is overkill for an AT with a few but well-used and power hungry accessories (like heated grips about 9 months of the year)

    http://www.ruggedroads.co.uk/shop/article_3033/Odyssey-Battery-PC310.html?shop_param=cid%3D31%26aid%3D3033%26

    And is it a straight swap for original battery - i.e. size..

    I'm pretty sure I'm on the original rectifier too - worth replacing on the basis that it's going to pop soon due to age?

    any guidance much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Hey Paul
