I would most likely take a 100-110amhr leisure battery if it has a standard battery box. Best measure the box then look on internet battery suppliers as they give the dimensions of the battery and details of the terminals.

Do you mean physical size, or amp hour capacity?

It depends on what use you want to put it to. If you intend to use a mover, and/or go off grid, then as big as possible. Mover only, about 80 amps. Neither, then 20 amp would suffice.

But you will be limited to the physical size of the locker.

As @Jcloughie says, how you use the caravan should dictate the battery size you need. My caravan came with a 110AH battery but it was on its last legs. I happened to have a good 80 AH car battery in the garage (removed from a car I scrapped) so I put that in the caravan. I only stay on sites with EHU so I only really need it for my motor mover to hitch up and maneuver on to pitch sometimes. 80AH is probably overkill for my needs, if i was buying another battery I'd probably drop to 40-50 AH. An added advantage is the weight saving over a bigger battery.

If you plan on staying off grid you'll need a bigger battery, but if you're staying more than a couple of days at a time you'll likely need some means of charging it as well.
