Ive fitted a grande battery in mine

As long as its secure who cares how big

You could fit as Ziggy suggested the biggest that would fit, but there is no real point in that. The single purpose of a battery is to turn the starter motor, & when the car fires up, all electrics is supplied with the alternator. The question you should ask yourself do you want a three year or five year battery. No real need for overkill.

Ours ran a 37Ah with no trouble.
Before the power steering was electric I recall some 1.2 fitted with batteries in the high 20s.
If it's not securely fitted in the box the NCT man will not be happy.
