Air cooled engines do not need a big battery to kick them over. I have one if these in my 1641 twinport, twin carbs and is fine.
From your local GSF dealer:

To really kick it over, maybe get a hot start relay kit. This will help with old ignition wiring

Euro car parts have a sale on batteries at the moment, I got a 075 for £38. However while it does fit in the battery tray it doesnt exactly fit in the indent in the tray as it's too long, can be clamped down though.
Also borrowed a battery conditioner from a mate and that appears to have completely revived and tested ok the old battery, might be worth a try first if you know someone that can lend you one?

Officially Beetles used to get the 063, and the type 2 got the 065. In reality they're interchangeable really, and most folks just fit whatever they can ;-)
