Subject:Optima battery dimensions
From:Brent Christensen
Date:Fri, 14 May 1999 11:18:07 -0700

Can someone with an Optima 750s (top terminals only) or D34/78-950 (top and
side terminals) take some measurements for me?  Here's what I am looking
for:

Height of battery from bottom to top deck of battery (w/o posts)

Width including the side terminals on a D34/78-950 vs the width w/o side
terminals (stated as 172.2 mm on their web site)

Diameter of the top posts. (i.e. "thickness")

Distance from sides of battery to top posts from each side (front and back,
sides)

I am planning to fabricate a custom-fit area, either in the driver's seat
compartment, or in another location this weekend.  Thanks!
