I wanted to get a new optima yellow top, and from my understanding (correct me if Im wrong) the d34/78 is the best one, I believe.
My question is, will it fit in our cars, or does anybody here have this exact one, cuz this guy at autozone was saying that a lot of cars dont have enough space under the hood for this inperticular battery(with hood clearance). |

there are 2 things about the optimas that make them not 100% plug and play. 1 is that the battery is shorter then a normal battery. all you have to do is go to a parts store and buy new battery hooks for like 2bucks. the 2nd is that the positive and nagative are swaped around on the battery, so you kind of have move your cables around a little to make it work.
Yota, your terminals shouldnt come off. it sounds like there is somethng wrong with the ones you have, and probably need to buy some new ones. not to mention get shorter hooks to hold your battery down in place -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
