My old battery like you would have been flat by Sat morning. Tim

Your dimensions and terminal post position should be the same, but worth a check if you decide to change.

Same model as our new one, very happy with it so far, runs everything for at least 2 days from fully charged.

If you want some pics give me a shout. Tim

I thnk I'll go for the Elecsol suggested by DL above. I think it will fit without modifying anything and will be easier for me. My business partner has just put one on his yacht and has been singing its praises.
I would appreciate some pics of your lights though sometime.
