I just ditched the Optima Red Top in my car because I didn't like the fit and replaced it with this Super Start Platinum Battery Group Size 47 H5 (there are other brands that are pretty much the same battery). This one fits perfectly in the battery tray without having to trim as the Optima requires, accepts the factory hold down unlike the Odyssey. EDIT: the factory recall battery cover fits perfect unlike the Optima but just bare DOES NOT clear the rain tray when the engine lid is closed. I'm also in the camp that thinks using AGM batteries is a great idea unless you like cutting and patching rust in the hell hole.
