Any disadvantages to this battery?

I may be able to acquire a pretty damn good battery made by Enersys, ive just copied and pasted the specs below. Would this do any harm to my 90 200tdi? I cant imagine it would but i just wanted to double check before i stuck it in.

**In accordance with EN50342-1/2006

Looks good, all the voltages are geared towards automotive use, the C5 ior above would be about idea. The cycles are about right, assuming cold starts a day everyday that would be about 4.5 years battery life at 20% duty cycle.

How much?

Isnt costing me anything but i looked up one with very similar specs made by Odyssey (sp?) and it was about £450. Certainly not cheap

do they do any with a larger Ah capicity

No idea mate, it's just this type I can get. I think they were designed for use on armoured vehicles. If you look up '12v battery cca 1225a' there's a website I saw with an odyssey one which seems to be the exact same, they have a lot more but I didn't look
