I have just fitted the larger of the two sizes you mentioned, to make life a lot easier remove the panel that lies in front of the battery, comes off very easily, much more room to play with.

Unfortunately, the article on the main site doesn't contain the dimensions. If only someone updated the page... ::)

Recently fitted Bosch 0 092 S30 070. Now the car starts fine at least :))

And big thanks to Kenboy. I didn't know the panel is removed so easily, so even wouldn't try to this without your advise ;)
