mine was originally a bosch!
i think the amps were:
360A @ startup
60A @ running ( i think!)

i went to halfords last nite and bought a halfords battery which was
565A @ startup
100A @ running

much better anyway. it was advertised for £55 on the shelf, but he tried charging me £65 when i got to the till, so he had to let me have it for £55.
