Battery question...

Hi guys,

My car needs a new battery and I bought a Bosch S5 010 (800A ((EN)) 85Ah 12V) on eBay, was only £65.

The measurement of my current battery is 11" wide, whereas the new one is 12" wide...

Have I been an idiot and bought the wrong battery or will the slightly wider new one still work? Any opinions will be well received before I potentially mess things up! :dont know:
 
The width of the battery is about 8 inches from memory .. i dont tend to measure them so that more or less ..

Do you mean length ?

11 or 12 inches is fine if so as there are different holes for the battery clamp .
 
This is the pup...
