Finally lost the will it start or not game..

Hi all.

Just wanted to mention that after two years of playing the great game of will it start or not... I lost.
Had an original Volvo 65ah 580 wich in a bit of cold was always very exciting.
Confusingly the dutch volvo 850 book sais to get a 100ah battery. Or 85 in some countries. Whatever that means..
I checked those and they would never ever fit.
The biggest one to fit dimensionswise is:
Length: 278 mm
Width: 175 mm
Height: 190 mm
(No idea what that is in feet, nose and thumb sizes)
wich is everything under 80ah.
Its probably allready overkill, but I just came out of minus 16C, and I hope to see some more good cold winters.
So I got a new Varta E44, 77ah, 780a.
Big difference in starting speed!
