Batt'ry...
The first optima I bought basically had to be wedged into place, but at least the stock anchor held it. The last two batteries (optima and sears) I've bought seem to be undersized. They fit easily into place, but are not large enough to anchor properly therefore zipties are a must, and I'm sure one of these days someone in tech will see it...
If there are those using the stock location and the stock anchor, what batteries are you running?

i ran a red top in mine for quite a while......used the stock hold down but i made a rubber coated shim plate for the front crossmember so it pushed the battery back like 3/4" and it fit perfectly....i run a little 11lb braille now.....im shocked how strong it is...cranks just as hard as my optima for the first 10 seconds or so......if the car doesnt start in 10 seconds it wont start anyway so it doesnt matter lol

I actually had to swap out my midget sized Deka this morning for a Optima Redtop I have laying around. I have the opposite problem, the stock hold down almost seems too short to properly go on the battery, as I tighten it down it pushed the optima forward. Also the battery completely filled the space in there, I ended up putting a piece of rubber hose on the A/C line there because the battery rubs both the hood rest by the fender and the A/C line.
Oh well its not in there for long, only as long as it takes me to get a new lightweight battery in.

I've had at least four batteries in the car. Two of them were Optimas. The first Optima and the batteries before had to be wedged into place and were secure. The second Optima dropped in and had plenty of room. Both Optimas were the same part number. The Sears battery in the car now is the same dimension as the last Optima. I assumed what I stated was rather clear. Sincere apologies for not expressing it in simpler terms.
Fantastic.
