Default Optima battery

Anyone running one? If so, what size fits in the stock 968?

Redtop #35
It's about 1/4 - 1/2" narrower than the stock battery, but my bracket has held down two different optimas for me for over 4 years.

Thanks Todd. I had found the #35 on another thread, but the post did not say that they had actually used one. I'm assuming that it is the 35R for reversed poles?

The 35R was the original optima battery for our cars, the regular 35 had them switched around. In the past year or so though, Optima has renamed their batteries. They don't make the 35R anymore and now the regular 35 has the terminals oriented to fit our cars.
