My alternator fried which killed the oem battery.
I replaced the alternator with the one from my backup engine and
installed an optima yellowtop on its side in the battery tray (only
way it will fit) since I assumed that it could be installed like that.
If I'm going to end up killing the battery tray with fluid leaking out
of the little foam covered vents, please let me know :D
