Hi David,
I run an 810CCA in my D2a Td5. It's an Exide.
I had same in my previous D2 Td5. Lasted many years.
I'm not sure of the "official" recommended battery, however I would think it's there abouts.

I recommend the CATERPILLAR 115-2422 1000CCA Calcium Battery. I installed one way back in 2012, on 27th of August. This is my cranking battery, and at the time of installation I was asked by forum members how good is it? and I remember remarking that its effect on the TD5 when called to action was akin to using a "cow prod on a cricket " and it is still is the same today, 7 years on!.....
