Batterr replacement


Ok, this is trivial for most of you.  But I'm really have to ask.

Last weekend, my car battery died, probably due to prolonged cold weather.
I pulled the battery out and let it warm up in my house.  Now it measures
about 10 v.  I think it needs to be replaced when I get the car started 
again.  The problem is, the battery I currently use (size 42, CCA 450) is 
not the same as the original, and I don't know what is the right size and 
Cold Cranking Amps for my car, 1986 Audi 5000 non-turbo.  Anyone knows?

I remenber some time ago there was a post about a Sears DieHard Battery
uesd for Audi.  Which battery is it?  Is there much price/performence 
difference for a Sears battery and others?

Thanks for help.  Yes, this will be the first time I change battery (car
battery, I mean).  And I've looked the FAQ, this topic is not covered.
