Re: Battery Replacement -96 (Tony.96LT4)
Optima Red Top 720CCA is almost a direct fit. The battery tray will need a very small trming in order to get the battery to seat in nicely. I just put of them on my car $130

Re: Battery Replacement -96 (Bruce)
It doesn't take long nor is it a big deal. I went and bought the cheapest 10mm open wrench, because it was thinnest, to get the bottom bolt off. It took about an hour to install the battery 45 minutest to wash and dry stuff and 15 to do the battery.
An Optima note: Mine was only 5 months old when I had to have it replaced. I am told that the car needs to be started every week or so to keep it in prime shape.

don't remove the bottom bolt, just loosen it. Also you can trim off the top positive post so it doesn't hit the bracket above it.
