There was discussion about the best agm battery to use in a 914-4. Someone mentioned the Optima Red Top 34R being a good choice, but their website says that this battery will not fit. Can anyone advise what AGM battery they have used in their 914 with no fit problem? Thank you for your help!

Yep; just put an Optimum Red 34R. THey new come with all sorts of adaptors; fit perfectly (though I preferred to shave a bit off each bottom side to slide in/out of the battery tray a bit more easily. The hold-down clamp (4-5 options included in each one) is great. Just make sure you get a fresh one - lots of old ones still on shelves....
