Re: battery group size?

Top or side depends on your cables. What do you have now? Also, I don't know how you're using it but those batteries are intended for short-term, high-energy use.

thanks guys, mine is a side post now. I thought optimas could be used for regular batteries as I see them in a lot of rigs often. bob
