Default a battery size and CCA question...

Hello, to handle a 127CI Ultima engine, do I need at least a 300 CCA battery, or less? The maximum space that I have is L7.0"xW3.5"xH5.0" and I can't find a 300CCA to fit in this size.. they are all too tall.
I found "MMG5_LI_25" (Li-Ion battery) with 280CCA and size L6.0"xW3.0"xH4.0" - for $110 - is it sufficient?
I also found "Chrome Battery YTZ14S (Lead-Acid battery) with 200CCA and size L6.0"xW3.5"xH4.4" - for $40 - is it good enough?

Does anyone have more options or ideas? Is it OK to use a Li-Ion battery with the existing charging system (it's a 2005 engine)?

Thank you for your help.

I usually get the largest CCA that'll fit. $110 is cheap for a Lithium battery.
