C5 Replacement Battery
What is the appropriate Optima battery number and where did people buy them?
Any idea how to read the manufactured date codes?

75/35 Red top. Bought mine at Batteries Plus, $99.95.
The 34/78 is a larger battery, but will fit.

34/78 here.
They come with a plastic bag with a couple of brackets to hold the battery in place...just make sure it's there.

34/78 from LAPD. Once you get the battery, call Optima and ask for the topper (top cover to hide the top mount posts). They sent mine to me at no cost, just free for the asking
