View Full Version : Optima Battery for a 94? Jason94sport 06-12-2005, 02:33 PM It's Red34/78, or Yel34/78, group 78DT0? Correct Website says I need a hight adapter. Is this the case? Any other adapters I need. The Optima's I saw had bottom mount adapters included, but not height. Thanks bmxking5 06-12-2005, 02:37 PM It's pouring down rain right now, so I can't go check. I believe mine is the 34/78 - Red top. The bolt for the battery wedge broke off on mine a while back. I drilled a hole in the battery tray and used a bungie(sp?) cord to hold it in. It is very slightly taller than my other one...like within 1/4". It is smaller in width and length. With the bungie cord holding it in, it is very tight and doesn't allow any movement. I think I paid $110 for my red top. If I was you, I'd just buy the battery and hook it in the same way I did. I think I've got a pic in my Elite registry in my sig. :) Bashman 06-12-2005, 11:06 PM You should only require the bottom mount adapter. mrboyle 06-14-2005, 12:20 AM Bashman is correct, you will only need the lower mount adapter. Jason94sport 06-14-2005, 08:44 PM Cool, I picked a red top up local not bad at $109.98. They only had the ones with top & side posts. These are ok to use right? aldive 06-14-2005, 08:46 PM Cool, I picked a red top up local not bad at $109.98. They only had the ones with top & side posts. These are ok to use right? You will be fine. shawnbru 07-10-2005, 11:42 AM I just put a size 34 Optima red top in my 91 and used the "size 65" adapter tabs that clip onto the bottom. The size 34 is quite a bit smaller than a 65 but it is the same height. Its nice because there is more room all around the battery. I paid $95.
