Hi Rich.
Not sure if you saw them at previous shows but PowerVampRacing do a small battery. If you get the 32mm squared cable (absolutely required for boot batteries) you will be able to use the PVR25. I use one of these on the convertible.
http://powervampracing.com/detail.asp?ID=23Savings can be had by not using their alloy mounting bracket but I went for it as its shiney. Supposed to be good battery for 10 years....if you dont let them go flat. Mine holds a charge all winter on the spare.
To be honest its the battery cable and connectors which is the costly bit as you need about 6-7 metres of each to get round the car. For qhuick release and jump starts I wired in some anderson connectors which tidy the job up.
It may be prudent to get one of those special computerised trickle chargers but its not essential.
