Just saw  an Optima Yellow top for sale at Costco for $142.  Says it's
"Spiral  Cell" technology so it mounts on it's side.  Also top and side  terminals.
I recently paid $170 for the same thing at my  FLAPS.

I paid $140 at a local battery supplier, found using thomas.net.  Felt  a
little bizarre hack-sawing off the top terminals, but it fits like a charm  (two
days later I used the same hacksaw to cut an extension off a full oxygen
scuba cylinder - veeeerrrryyyy slowly.)  Just another wild and wacky week  in the
infante basement.
