Default Additional Battery Question

Just wondering, will a Group 34/78 Sears Diehard Platinum (?????Odyssey PC1500DT in disguise) fit in a '02 C5 without moddifications??????????????
I believe the dimensions of a Group 34/78 are:10.9"L X 7.8"W X 7.8"H. Likewise a Group 78 is 10.25"L X7"W X 8.25"H. I know this size will fit with no problems since this was the OEM size battery for '08-'01 C5s
Thanks Again,
Mike

I have a Sears diehard platinum 34/78. I like dual post ,use side post for connectors for battery tender. This way I can just plug in tender to battery when needed ,not fond of clip type connector I use the connector that stay's connected to battery. P4 is the size I have . I also liked high RC thought it might help with my added acc. such as Iphone adapter,
