I did exactly the same on mine last year. Bought the Bosch Silverline S5, but the darned thing didn't line up with any of the clamps holes. Couldn't be bothered with the rigmarole of sending it back, so I made up my own battery clamp arrangement. http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=246756

It has worked surprisingly well

Hi John. Nice mod - gives you flexibility and peace of mind.

I work V close to Euro CP - so easy to swap - I needed it done that night - so only option was the Fraud.

I got a bigger Bat for £10 less - going well on car.

Going to try to recover old bat - dubious -
would use it as recovery bat on plywood and castors - with jump lead set - maybe
