@DethBeard the MBTX9U looks a match, and is £35.99. What’s different about motobatt?
TM-
They're often recommended as good quality.
I'll be honest, I don't fully understand the whole cold cranking Amps thing properly. But from what I do, my engine requires a high ampage to turn it over, therefore, when the battery is a bit low it can prevent or make it harder to turnover. So when I needed to replace my battery it seemed to make sense. TBH previously I've just used whatever was cheapest...but that was also on a cheaper bike.
As mentioned the other thing that's good is the number, position and style of attachments. This sort of shows it, but usually there's a second set of terminals on the other side:

Haven't really had it long enough to comment, but I went for a motobatt as it's high torque (pparently the Triumph twins are greedy on start up).
One neat thing is they have 4 terminals ie 2 + 2. This means that there's easy space for any aux items like battery tender pigtails, etc.
