RE: optima red top battery

I do also remember hearing about a year ago, that Optima had some issues w/ the Redtops just not holding charges for very long..

2000GT4.6: Why not relocate the battery to the back?? I figure it won't hurt anything, and even free up some space...

RE: optima red top battery

The battery relocation seems like a major PITA. You would have to either mount it thru the carpet or remove the carpet perminatly, besides running all the cables etc.

RE: optima red top battery

I've been running them for many years and some i have had for 7+ years and others crap out after 2...but they have a great warranty. There is a small hold down bracket you can buy that makes the optima work with the stock tray...i think i saved the link somewhere so if i find it i'll post it for you.
