Does Optima make different sizes of these batteries? I was looking to buy an Exide Orbital, but they do not fit my car.

Thanks,

Lawrence.

Yes, Optima does. I just bought a Yellowtop over the winter for my Integra which has a small ass battery.

Thanks...Lawrence.

I just phoned Costco and they told me that they don't carry the Optima to fit my car...I can't believe how difficult finding a better battery for my car is...arghhhh!!!!

what car?

Diabolik Apr 21, 2004 12:31 PM

You should call Optima directly and see if they make one.

Car is a Mustang...Optima U.S. said that a Yellow Top D34 will work, however, I have also heard that I need a hold down kit...Optima said nothing to me about a kit...

A hold down kit.... TFI

If all they mean is a strap to keep the battery down (like I have stock in my Integra), I would think that most cars have one already... if not, it sure wouldn't be too expensive...

I'd ask Optima. See what they say about it.

You are buying a $200 dollar battery and a $10 hold down is potentially holding it up?

Fishbone Apr 22, 2004 07:53 AM

Talked to some Mustang guys with yellow tops...apparently, Costco sells the required clamps with the batteries...and yes, it is just a small piece of plastic...

So, it looks like after ALL of this, I am getting a yellow top.

Thanks for all the help.

Lawrence.
