Re: Optima Battery in SVX
.
I have been using red top Optima batteries in my SVX for almost 30 years. My last Optima was installed in my polo in 2009.
I have always used the group 34 red top with the top terminals only. SKU: 8002-002. 800 CCA and fits perfectly without a height adapter and with or without the battery box.
It is now a garage queen, sometimes going as long as 9 months between startups or driving. I have always had it connected 24/7 to a Deltran Battery Tender Plus when not in use.
Hard-wired to the battery so all I do is disconnect and go. Maintains battery at peak charge automatically. Never failed to start right up and perform flawlessly
I also have the new alternator wiring configuration and a 160A high-output alternator.
More here. See my test results at the end.
