Which Optima Redtop is best??
75/35
or
34/78?
Optima lists both for a 2000.
I guess the only difference is the 75/35 is 720 CCA and the 34/78 is 800 CCA.

Yes, one of the differences is cold crankling amps. The other is the size, the 34/78 is slightly bigger and heavier that the 75/25 or 75/35.
All will fit. I have the 75/35 and it's been fine for almost 2 years.

Don't know which is better, but I have been running the 34/78 for almost four years with no problems whatsoever.

I chose the 800 cca one. Price difference was nominal.
I bought it at Autozone.
