Get a Motobatt MBYZ16H. 230CCA and loads of extra capacity over the standard battery. Started mine first turn last weekend in -2C no problem after being dormant for months.

For what it's worth I use that Varta Funstart and it's a good battery,smaller and lighter than standard as well.

It's several years old now and possibly past it's best but still gives instantaneous starting
