Default Fiesta battery survey

Recently, I had to replace my WS Fiesta Econetic battery after 2.5 yrs use.
I had nothing but trouble finding someone (ford/repco/beaurepairs etc.) who could tell me and provide the correctly size replacement.
I would love Fiesta people out there to indicate what size their battery is.
There seems to be either about 6"(15cm) or 9"(23cm) battery options.
When I say size all it is, is the rough distance between the terminals.

Mine is about 9" (23cm) WS Fiesta Diesel.

Ours is still going strong after 3.5? years. I guess it can't be far away from old age if some of you have had to replace them after 2.5years. Not looking forward to "new" batteries because most of the ones you don't get with new cars have been sitting on a shelf for years before you ever buy them
