Hmmm, the Optima is a great battery, use the yellow top for deep cycle. It's not the greatest reserve capacity for the price but the sealed cleanliness makes up for it in my mind. I run a dozen of YTs (yellow tops) in one of my electric cars. I found it was a little too tall for under the drivers seat. I have one under the rear bench and I also managed to fit one in behind the right taillight.

Has anyone put one in the normal behind the seat location? Maybe on its side?
