Default rs turbo s2 battery

Sorry if this has been asked before but here goes.
Think my battery is knackered, what batteries do you guys have, standard or heavy duty?
As i understand the higher the CCA, cold cranking amps, the better the battery, am i right?
Car is more or less standard with not huge stero etc.
