The smaller 80-90Ah should be fine.

Hi,
I always buy a 110Ah battery plenty of spare, less strain on a bigger battery. Always recharge after use, and do not let it get too cold in winter.

And don't use them for jump starting your car as it knackers them for some odd reason,I've done 2 before I was told...I now use a fork lift gel cell battery bloody heavy but I can charge with 5 chargers on it all day and it never gives up
