Default Re: What do I really need???

the optima batteries that I am looking at dimensionally, are a little shorter in length, same width, and 1/4" taller at the top of the posts. Looking at the bracket that holds down the stock group48 battery, there are enough threads left to reuse it. I would imagine the battery terminals, would have to be changed, to a larger size, especially to run a 4 gauge wire off of it, but I could be wrong. chris
