I want to replace my battery. From reading the previous posts 75/35 is the right battery, but the new model number is 75/25? I just want confirmation before I purchase mine over the web. Are there any modifications needed? hold down bolts or cables? thanks much peter

i was about to get an optima from a parts place, and was told the optima is too high for the 993, and the tie down wouldn't work. i haven't checked, but has anyone noticed that?

Why not go for a yellow top ? i have one of each in my jeep (disconected when the car sits) and the red one looses voltage real fast.
Its not like we have massive Amp draw on the p-cars (winch, etc ...)

Would it last a full week-end DE where you start your car about 20 times a day?

If you're doing multiple cold starts, then you're right, you probably need more cranking amps. Otherwise, the advantage of this application is simply small package/lighter weight.

No problems with the tiedown nor any fittment issues with Optima Red Top 75/35
I'm probably going to go with the Yellow Top, because even when the car is off, there is a constant load on the battery.
