The details are HERE. You need 650 CCA.  These cars require a lot of power to maintain the electrics and many problems are caused by a battery of insufficient capacity.

Just double checking is the 650cca/701a battery ok for the 2.0L model, as i am worried about burning something out. As the car shops i have asked about a new battery have all stated a lower power.
Many thanks
Ron

"the power" is really the wrong word; its the current rating/capacity figure that is referred to
650cc means you can draw 650 amps for a short period to start (cranking current) the car . 71ah means you can draw 71 amps continuosly for an hour or 10 amps for 7 hours. So higher the numbers better for the car; it doesnt mean more power is delivered to the electrics so nothing will get damaged
