Battery size is measure in 2 ways. The actual physical dimensions of the battery and the size in Cold Cranking Amps (CCA). Purchase a battery that is physically the same size as the battery you are replacing or it will not fit. You can purchase a battery with a higher CCA capacity than the one you are replacing. This will cause no problems at all, and will just be a better battery, especially in the winter.
