Starting battery

Wanting to replace my starting battery, (right side one) as mine seems the wrong size by previous owner. Can someone let me know what it should be and do I need to do anything special like on vcds or anything once I change it or will the car not need anything that way. Thanks guys!

The battery procedure above. The starter battery is AGM type. The size you will have to look up since I don’t recall. My B is in hibernation . Plug and play no adaptation required

Amendment to above. Apologies!

Warning:
To increase crash safety, the starter battery in the luggage compartment on the right is equipped with a battery isolator. In an
accident, the air bag control module triggers a charge disconnecting the voltage supply wire to the starter.
Battery isolation is performed pyrotechnically, with a very small explosive charge. To avoid accidentally triggering the charge when
working on the battery or the battery isolator, you must always disconnect the battery earth on the negative terminal of the starter
battery first.
Remove right hand luggage compartment carpet panel. (refer to bin: 0867)
Continental GT and Continental Flying Spur
Disconnect battery clamp (1) from battery negative terminal post.
Disconnect battery clamp (2) from battery positive terminal post.
091501w0005
Continental GTC
Disconnect the negative terminal (1) of the starter battery.
Warning:
On Continental GTC cars a separate positive cable (3) from the starter battery to the starter battery fusebox is fitted. This cable
remains live when disconnected from the starter battery until the main battery is also disconnected. When disconnected take care not
to cause a short circuit or allow the cable to come in contact with the air bag connector (7).
Remove the fixing (2) and disconnect the red starter battery fusebox cable (3) from the battery near to the positive terminal.
Lift up the plastic cover (4) to access the positive battery terminal, and loosen the clamping nut.
Lift off the battery isolation igniter (5) and attached starter cable (6).

"Battery isolation is performed pyrotechnically, with a very small explosive charge."

I've never heard of such a thing. Is this a standard for all Bentley models / years?
