Question Dry Cell battery for RC F?

I like to put Optimas in my cars. I have had several modified Jeeps and Toyotas over the years and always put Optimas in them. They have served me well.

I went to the Optima website and no Battery for the RCF.

Does anyone make a dry cell that fits? What is the size or group of the RCF battery? Any help would be appreciated.

I am not really interested in Lithium.

Thanks for any info in advance.

Um, Optima isn't a dry cell, it's an AGM (sealed lead acid) battery. I don't remember the size of the OEM battery, but Optima has a replacement that is compatible.

Not that I'm particularly a fan of Optima, as their quality went down and their price went up. I've largely started using XSPower batteries where possible.

You are right. They call it Spiral cell technology. Anyway, I have never had problem even with the newer ones.

They say on their website, no battery for RCF. That is why I was posting has anyone fit one or another brand.

I am looking for an ultra reliable battery for the car.

RCF battery is group 34. I have a lithium i34CE from Braille, but you are not interested in lithium. Odyssey makes some dry cell batteries.

$1600 for a battery... I can think of lots of stuff to do for that amount!
