What do you mean by a "Luckas" battery?
On a related subject, it has been my experience that the battery, regardless of whether it is a conventional wet cell type or an AGM type, needs a maintenance battery charger to avoid having the battery damaged due to having the battery sitting for long periods without being recharged.

This is my first post to the list.  My wife, Kim, and I live in Midlothian, VA (near Richmond) and purchased a 1962 BT7 a couple of years ago.  We also have three Triumphs.  

I purchased a “Luckas”G24L (Positive Post FRONT RIGHT) AGM battery from batterycentralmall.com for our ’57 TR3, picture attached.  

I do not see Austin Healey under British, but perhaps a correct size battery was used in another British car.  It would help if you know the Lucas battery model for your car.

Do call the company at 804-861-0165.  The owner is very friendly.  

Please know there may be a loonnngggg wait for a battery as I am now waiting for a Lucas G22L.

Best
