Re: Optima Battery

I like my Optima battery, but it's fairly new, so it hasn't yet stood the test of time.

Most places seem to list the 75/25 as the proper replacement, but the 34/78 fits just fine, has a little more cranking amperage, and I like the fact that the terminals are moved toward the center of the battery. This keeps the positive jumper cable away from the core support and reduces the risk of shorting and arcing while jump starting.

I also like the dual terminals of the 34/78, because it allows me to hook my battery to one set of posts, and I can directly wire my winch to the other set of terminals.
