They fit perfectly. You just have to use the side terminals instead of the top posts.

I broke my factory bottom mount hold down so I just got a Year One over the top hold down bracket. Solid as can be!

ok thanks! im going to buy one right now!!!!!

best battery i have ever had period!

I have it, I installed it, and I love it!

I just bought one two days ago. Fits perfectly and no complaints about it.

love my optima also.... i left my manual fan switch on one day at school, and ~6 hours later, when i returned the fans were still on!

is it just me or didn't the prices on these go up? Atleast over at O'reilly's and Autozone. went from $120 to $160

:cheers:i just bought one today for $160@ autozone, it looks really good and it fit perfectly! thanks guys!!!!!

Had mine for 3 years~ love it.

Had it in my last two cars!

Great battery!

i like mine so far

My Optima Red was a great battery. I killed the thing 3 different times...it was my fault (wiring error). After a jump, I always had the battery tested, and it tested out great. It was starting to get a little sleepy with age, so I replaced it with a Die Hard Platinum 34/78...the Die Hard had a better warranty, and looked better on paper. But I certainly can't complain about Optima...

Also fits perfect with relocation brakets in spare tire area and no need for a box.

Best battery for our cars.

had mine for 5 years in my daily driver TA! still works. i bought it after a $70 dollar autozone battery crapped out in less than a year

Broke my damn hold down too. I bought another overflow tank.
Got a link or a pic of the one you bought from year one?

its about 130$ at costco. The one they carry at costco is a little bigger than the replacement battery, but fits none the less.

Damn, you read my mind lol I was gonna post a thread about these Optima Battery's. Ive been looking at possibly buying 1 from Advanced Auto Part's. I figure, since im trying to put all new thing's into the car "ex. new light bulb's, bring back the faded trim part's & etc." that i might as well get a new Battery. Im not sure how long my car's been runnin the current battery, but it's been over a yr since ive had the car.

I saw one melt down into a pile once... haha.. but it was warrantied. worked great for the past 4 years.

just a random thought

thats really strange i wonder what happened. overcharging/overheating?

I put a red top in my old '99 Z28 and it still going strong to this day and it's a solid 4+ years old. I plan on putting one in my Formula asap.

On a side note, they seem to have gotten stupid expensive since I last bought one. Whats every one paying for one these days?

Just bought one two days ago for 150 w/o the core charge

:/

love my optima also.... i left my manual fan switch on one day at school, and ~6 hours later, when i returned the fans were still on!

saved you a jump
