How do you mean 'small' :?
The Bosch S5 is the one normally recommended on here.

A few of us with 996t 's have gone to 95 -100 A/hr 019 batteries that take up the whole battery tray. You may have to modify the tray slightly.
They only weigh around 3 kgs more than a 110 battery
I think the cranking amps are around 900.
This size is fitted in Sweden for example.
I would suggest, particularly over winter, you will be very happy you fitted one if you leave the car sitting for longer than a few weeks. :thumb:

There is also the Varta F18 Silver.
The same internally as an S5 i'm told.
I had an F18 but it failed to hold charge over a week after a couole of years and the web site I bought it from wanted a test report confirming failure and, given that when charged it seemed fine, I was unsure if I sent it to them the test would be impartial.
So I went to Costco and bought an S4. I could have got the S5 but it was £34 dearer (£71 vs £105) for a fairly small increase in capacity and an extra years warranty. Two years in and it's fine.
The Cosco rep told me they warrant Bosch batteries for 5 years anyway.
