Default Optima Red Top size for 95

Hello all,

It's time to replace the battery on my XJS. My car has been at two body shops since the beginning of the year for about 6 weeks at a time, and both shops ran the battery flat more than once leaving the doors and trunk open. It's time for a new one.

I have been running Optima RedTops on the XJS and E type and have been very happy.

Currently the XJS has the 75/35 RedTop but I was hoping to buy the 34/78 which has a little more CCA. I do not desire to modify the tray in any way.

Is anyone running a 34/78 RedTop or maybe a like Cca YellowTop on their 94-96 XJS without tray modification?

If someone is running an Odyssey with CCA of 720+ also let me know. I was going to try the Odyssey, but the recommended one for the 95 has 620CCA.


Please let me know

Thanks

I ended up getting the 34/78 RedTop, but I won't know if it will fit until next week when I pick up the car from the body shop, when I went there they had the car in a lift ready to do some under carriage treatment before putting it in the booth for the first round. Hopefully it fits the tray
