I have a little 5Kg Odyssey Battery PC545 for my car. No problems. Didn't use the car for 6 weeks and got home. Started first time (2ltr RS2000 Engine). Kit cars don't need big batteries. Its a gel battery so you can mount it any way you want and it can't leak even if you split the thing. I got mine for £55 quid off Ebay.

Now that I think of it, my Civic's 45Ah battery (fresh) had trouble spinning Sierra's 2l Pinto engine at about 0°C. Maybe I just lucked out with a lower current CVH starter?
