Default Which battery please?

My car has been sorned for the past 8 months, battery is completely dead, I have a 12amp charger that isnt charging the battery, could somebody please advise which is the correct battery for a widetrack blob?

I would like one with a high cca, I was thinking of this one but not sure if its compatible?

The only thing better than a Bosch S4 is a Bosch S5.

Next time you lay the car up, disconnect the battery and charge it once a month/or use a proper battery maintainer (ctek, optimate etc)..."dumb" chargers will damage batteries if left connected too long, as will leaving them to discharge below 12.4 volts.
