Default TT battery bit the big one, is the Redtop 34R the correct Optima one?

I'm getting push back from different suppliers and they're insisting that I should get #35.

I have to order it and want to get the right one.

Where is everyone getting theirs from.

Thanks

Default You *will* need some hammering and smart battery lead position to fit it and..>

snap the plastic cover back in place, but it can be done without cutting any plastic. The big problem is that the Optima 34R's poles are closer together than the OEM (Varta) battery.

Default Thanks for the warning, I'm good with hammers while doing electrical work.

Q. I understand 34R is larger than the 35, so would you know if I would be better off with the 35?

Default If the 34R is larger than the 35, you'd be better of with the 34R...>>

Unless the 35 has the same pole locations AND has them further apart.
