I have a redtop and it fits just like a stock battery. No pulling or excessive force on either cable. Just make sure you get the right model number, the redtop will be the one with the lower of the 2 cranking amps.
I believe the Optima size people have been using is 94R?
The Maxx has 730CCA, the OEM has 720, and the Redtop has 770.
I think you may be correct, the redtop comes in 2 amp ratings; a 770CCA and a 900CCA, the 900CCA has it's terminal posts a little shorter and makes it difficult to fit. I think you can do it, but you will have to loosen the positive cable a bit. Hope that helps...
