RE: optima trouble in 95
you have to kinda tip the battery towards the POS cable and get it attched, then lay it down.
I also disconnected the ring on the neg cable where it attaches to the radiator support. I then cut the cable, soldered and shrink wraped where the ring connector was, and left it like that... doesnt cause any issues
