Model No: 9151189. You are going to have to bend the terminals to have them fit. You are also going to have to cut some of the battery tray away. It is best to use a dremel and simply file the lip closest to the sheet metal until it is flat. I will see if I can take some pics tomarro night for you. |

Hey Matt, If you haven't gotten an answer by tonight, I'll check mine when I get home. Although I got mine through, well, unusual circumstances,  I do believe it's the correct size.
You will have to cut the battery tray to make it fit. I haven't done it yet, so I'm using large zip ties to hold it down. I'll probably cut it when I install my new upper A arms. Ed |

Matt, Model number is 34/78 not 43/78. Must have had a senior moment.

Whoops. Got the wrong one then. Anyone interested in a brand new never used Group 51R yellow top? Fits in the tray beautifully in the east-west direction and is only 5" deep in the north-south direction. |

I've got some interesting battery sizing info here: http://www.youngs.org/kjparts/default.asp?category=19 There's a red top Optima that will fit '02s w/ no alterations. I would imagine that you could find the sizing chart to figure out which yellow top would be best. |

So which color? Yellow top? Red top? My 2003 is size 34? Any mods required to install? |

No side posts for my winch connection, for one thing. Got a 34/78 yellow top and sold the old one. All's well |

A local and well respected jeeper suggested these: http://www.batterymart.com/battery.mv?p=ODY-PC1500-T He said: "I would strongly consider an Odyssey over an Optima. Optimas have crazy charging specs and I know quite a few people who have had problems with them." Anyone heard of the charging specs issue? |

My red top died on me one time cause a friend left my head lights on in my old ride all night. The thing with the red top is it is a gel cell type battery(no water in the cell) and you are supposed to "slow" charge them. So I had to take it to auto zone and let them charge it for almost a full day at a low charge. Not really sure as to the whole technical reasoning behind it but I know taht after I had jumped it and ran it for bout a half hour it still didnt have the charge to fire my rig back up. But that was only the case cause the batt was COMPLETELY drained. |

I left a set of 100W headlights on all night in my old geo with a yellow top and it never blinked, started right up when I got back in the next morning 10 hours later. |
