Re: Optima batterys
I have heard good things about these batteries if your running amps and other electronics that pull a lot of power from the battery. On the down side I believe they are also quick heavy. I have never bought one just cause they are so expensve.
As far as size goes I would not get a very big one. It will take up tons of space and will be heavy. Also in the gsts you are limited on space so if you get one to big it wont even fit. I would measure your max dimensions you can have and go the store and check out what they got.

 Also, not really sure if it's worth all the extra money , especially if you're not running any high electrical items. They should have specific ones for the stock size.

Re: Optima batterys
Then go ahead with the optima battery. Just measure the biggest size you can fit and go check them out at the store.

Re: Optima batterys
Id go with the yellow top, its a good battery. Where ever you get it from should be able to look up and tell you which specific size you need for your car.
Yeah there heavy, but whats an extra 5 pounds? Mine needs a battery right now...think I might go with a mini Odysey....i guess thats how u spell it
