So to much suggestion, I purchased the Optima 34R (size for 914s) Red Top battery. Only it doesn't fit in the tray. Two tabs petruding on both sides extend past the raised edge of the battery tray, not allowing it to sit in place. I know many use this battery. Suggestions on how to remedy? Or get a different size?
