I've had a diehard in my wife's CRV for 10 years, so I put a platinum one in my coupe.

Interesting, after it failed me 3x the last 3 years most recently was a week ago.

I bought the Optima Red Top and installing it today...


I'm having a problem putting the Battery Tie Down back though, I can't get a secure/tight fit. :o Did I get the wrong Size, SC35 is what I got from tires23.

When I got my yellow top, I had to use the bottom adapter for the optima to make the battery fit good.....

IVE RECENTLY BEEN LOOKING FOR A NEW BATT ALSO, AND I THINK IM GOING WITH A LIGHT WEIGHT RACING BATTERY.
REGULAR BATT WEIGH 40-45LBS LIGHT WEIGHT15-25LBS -TOMIOKA LIGHT WEIGH BATTERY 17LB EDITION.
CHECK IT OUT AT www.tomiokaracing.com tell me what you guys think, Ive talked the guys from tomioka and they recommended the 17lb batt, the wrx and evo guys are using these.

this is a good way to loose an easy 20lbs off your ride!
