I finally need a new battery and wanted to get an Optima. Any opinions on Red or Yellow Top and what size do we need?

I have a friend in the battery business, i told him i wanted an Optima and he asked me "why?" i replied "well my old one lasted for years and years" he told me the new ones are "absolute shit!" as per his recommendation i got an Odyssey PC925, its smaller, lighter, and I love it so far.
I have no personal experience with the new Mexican produced Optimas, Just passing the word along as best i can (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

The PC 925MJT looks like it would be the one but as far as I can tell there is no adapter that would let it mount exactly like the stock battery. Is this the case? Did you have to come up with some alternate method? thanks in advance |
