Default What Optima battery for our car?

Battery just went dead yesterday and picked up a Orbital battery (Optima knockoff) from Kragen cuz it was an emergency. To come find out the terminal posts don't quite come out front enough (towards front bumper). What battery has a better fit for the terminal posts and is light at the same time? I can't close my battery cover now... Rain isn't going to affect the battery too much is it? ...not that the battery is in direct path of the rain.
