What are you looking for? Optima?

You have to get a specific sized Optima to fit easilly or you can be like me and pop the clip to give you 3 more inches of Positive wire play and use the normal Optima.

 

Yeah you need reverse unless you have custom wiring

Just make sure it's neg on the right, pos on the left on the short side. How about Odyssey batteries, even smaller!

 

like bpang said you can just stretch the wire if yo cant find the reversed thats what i did

 

They do have the reverese on island... I know hangbot picked one up.

 

Optima makes a battery that works for our car without any modification. They also make a 17LB battery in both red and yellow tops, that will work. Check them out on this site: http://www.autobarn.net/opbat92cca.html

 

i got the 25lb yellow top (reverse) over on Ward - across from Sports Authority

 

^^^Same...he calls everyone "My Friend"

I know that shop quite well...I guess I probably have the reversed ones too...but still had to do the pull the wire off the clip mod.

 

Yep that's the guy, he will give you a "good price if you buy now" too

 

...my friend!

 

where can i get odyssey batteries? can you give me more info on it? weight? size? price? is it deep cycle? thanks

I got one for $70 at interstate batteries. It's one of those where customers claim that they aren't working or something. They test it out and then resell and offer 1 yr. warranty with it. Works fine with me. I popped the clip also and made the positive reach! Heavy though.
