I'd go and look at it right now for the model number, but it's dark here.
The CCA was 800, 900 at zero degrees C.
It works brilliantly.
Bet they're cheaper where you are (even thought they're made in Spain)

Not sure about the Exide battery size, but in the Optima, I have a 34/78 Red Top. Works just fine.

I have the same one. The ratings on the 34/78 are; CA 980 & CCA 800
