As long as it fits in your battery box dealy, you're good to go.

Except for the 16volt ones, and the 6volt......... J/K

I can't believe they looked on the computer for a battery for your car.

Re: Who have red top optima on your car I need your help !

Batteries actually have different ratings like the cold cranking amps and what not. Any battery should do fine, but I think he just wants to know if it's the specific one for his car.

A lot of brands have a certain model number for the specs that meet certain cars, so they probably just looked to see if they had that model number in Optima Red Top that met the specs for an Eclipse/Talon.

If it's an optima battery and they gave it to you off of the shelf to put in a car, then I'm 99.9% sure that it's 12 volts.

If they're both rated at 720 Cold Cranking Amps, then you shouldn't have a problem.

That's not what I meant. It's like looking up the part number for a small block chevy head gasket, and asking if it has an automatic tranny. Red top has to be 12v. Yellow top are deep cycle, and blue top are marine, but all are 12v. I am not aware that optima makes anything but 12v.
