I just put in the yellow top..fits almost perfect...you have to bend the (+ & -) terminals (flatten) them in order to put them on the posts. Also have to tighten down the battery tie down further cause the battery is a little shorter in height. Last but not least have to spin the battery because the terminals are reversed (+ terminal on the right side). great battery for people w/ stereo's and lots of electronics.

tks for feedback guys...
well, i've had my yellow top for nearly 5 yrs and i was wondering if it's time to change or not.
i used the battery from my old gs for sounds. i just practically used the same battery on my sc right now.
what about the blue top? is that also mainly for sounds?

I had a yellow top before and that thing just fell off its tray and was rubbing against my serpentine belt while i was driving. Killed the damn battery. Since then, i haven't used an Optima. How did you get your OEM battery tie to fit the height of the Optima? I hear some ppl use wood underneath. Is there another alternative?
