The 27DC-6 battery is too taller than the stock battery. Swivel seats
will require cutting of the base. However, it approximately doubles the
Amp hour capacity of the Optima and will probably last longer as long as
you keep it watered.

Subject: optima vs 27DC-6?

I've been told the walmart (not sure the maker, do they private  label?)
27DC-6 is also perfectly good, fits just fine, and at $55 a whole  lot
cheaper.  I
hate the big box on principle, but a hundred bucks is a  hundred bucks.
Anyone tried this one?  Comments?
