Experiences with OPTIMA battery
Anyone using the Optima Battery red top ?
Could you please advise on the following:
1.Torque values for the cable connectors to the battery terminals.
2.Battery height adjustor needed or not.
The Optima website says may or may not need battery height adjustors?
The specific model according to their website is red 75/35, 720CCA, and group size 75DTO
Thanks

I have that battery and used the height adjuster (came with the battery) but not really happy with the quality of the height piece, the clips that are used to supposedly hold it to the battery are weak to say the least. I then used a few wraps of electric tape to keep them secured against the battery bottom. No problems at all
