34R spec question
In local battery shops I have only been able to find Optima 35/75 and 34/78. The dimentions of the 35 are 9" x 63/4" x 63/4" and the 34 is the same but 1" longer, so 10". Can someone tell me the dimentions of a 34R, the ca and cca, and also tell me what a reasonable price in canadian would be. I have found the 35 for 129$ and the 34 for 149$.

I couldn't find info on specific batteries or any specs on the optima site. I could only find info about the different types ie. red, yellow and blue, no part #'s.

Took me 3 seconds with Google, another 2nd to hit the "Skip Intro" button on the home page, then Product Info | Automotive | Starter | Technical Specs.

It's a bit $$$ for a battery bracket, but given that I had to hack my stock one to work (which weakened it), and I'm running my red top on two pieces of 1/4" ply that slips, and I drive wiht my right foot and thus have to shift my battery back into position a lot, it's money spent that makes sense.

I really like the look of it and as you said, I have wood on top of mine, so getting that out of there and having a cool looking bracket to boot is worth it IMO.My battery terminals are another issue though. I'll post some pics of what i had to do to fix them on the other Optima 34R thread.

And...
I got my bracket yesterday and put it on this morning.
I'm quite happy - my redtop ain't goin' nowhere anymore!
Click for larger pics
Old, old & new, new and new!
(the green cricle in the first pic shows a slice I had made in the original bracket in order for it to sit onto the Optima at all - not really safe)
For reference, this is the ENOffRoad bracket. From a post on the national TTORA board:
Quick shipping, great communication, excellent transaction.

The main body is made from 16ga cold rolled steel, that has been dimpled to reduce weight, add strength, and a little style. The body is then welded to 1/8" thick side rails and 16ga angle steel to hold the battery from sliding around.
They come raw finished and are available for $36 shipped to the lower 48 states. If interested contact me at enroffroad@cox.net
