Optima Batteries

[nodrogkam]

Hey does anyone have an Optima battery installed in their camry? I want to get a Red Top one but on their website they dont have an battery for me when i use their search...

Any help would be appreciated!

don't forget to try an orbital from nappa...sam battery, different name.

Just get a D34/78 size. Any battery works in any car as long as it fits and you can get the wires to reach.

I have a yellowtop since I have a sound system in my car, so I could use the deep cycle feature just in case, but a red top has higher cold cranking amps.

hm thanks man!

so whats the diff between orbital from napa and an optima redtop? I am assuming price is different but does the napa battery really do the same job as th eoptima one?

I went to advance auto and got their redtop awhile ago

Me gusta optima

i think you would get a 34r r meaning that the terminals are reversed,

The red top optima is great. I had one in my 92. Might m=be getting one for my 03 camry.

Keep in mind that red tops arent supposed to be used for deep cycling in cars with audio systems.

Off of the Optima website:

These batteries are designed for engine starting applications. They are not recommended or warranted for use in deep cycle applications.

are they worth the $? other forums ive been on harsh on these batteries.

so are you saying you can hook us up with optimum batteries???

[ptycamry]

I was searching around AutoZone.com and I was looking at the Yellow-Top Optima Batteries...

Which yellow-top is the one I should go with..?? They have 3 different models:

- D34-OY
- D35-OY
- 34/78-OY

My Camry is a Gen 4 V6..

[nodrogkam]

Mmmm a hook up would be very nice!

Well lets see as for the battery model i think u either get the D34 or D34R.

But you know i need to measure the actual battery i have now to make sure it'll fit. The dimensions are given on websites that sell optima batters...not sure about optimas own site.

Wow redphoenix you have the battery wired to the back...how long did that take? Nice sub...i want!

yea i got one for my 99 its part # sc34u its about 800cca but its not big so its not goin to fit perfectly so ur going to have to get a shorter length battery tie down because its not tall and doesnt fit perfectly but if u do it right so it doesnt move around u'll be fine
