Optima Battery - What part number?

The Optima website says I should use 34/78 or 75/35. The two Costco's that I've been to have exactly one Red Top each. Neither of which are the ones I need.

What part number are you using? Does it even matter, as long as it has side terminals and 750+ CCA?

Thanks in advance.

The third Costco that I went to had the 75/35 (acutally, 5 of them) so I bought it.

Also check into the Exide Orbital battery. It's the exact same technology as the Optima.

They are sold at Sams Clubs.
