Do you have NRMA roadside assistance? get a battery from them. They can find out and give you a battery with a safe margin for a 2L engine.
Price is quite good as well.

In Poland, for example, the battery is labeled 12v 60Ah 420A or are you too are such symbols. I've just about these characters I mean.

12v - means 12 volts
60Ah - means ampere hours
420A - means 420 cold cranking amps

The minimum you should use in an FTO is 12v, 45Ah, 300A

Anything above those figures is ok to use. Best would be 12v 60Ah, 420A or above.

Being a 15 year old car, there are very few people left with the original Japanese battery still in them.
My misses has one, but all the writing on her battery is in Japanese!
