Optima Yellow Top D51R
It fits!

Modification of the stock battery tray is easy, since it's just plastic. Took about 5 mins with a dremmel. I guess you don't really need to use the stock tray if you wanted to save it.

Now it only has a bottom and a back, if that makes sense. No edges anymore.

Thanks Mark. If/when you have time, would you post the actual height, width & depth dimensions of your new Optima? I will go the the Optima web site to see if they post those specs., but my reason is that I want to see if these will fit the even smaller battery tray of the '09 Fits.

I have no battery issues yet with my new GE, but this battery is SOOO small that I expect to have some. If I can cram in the Optima ahead of trouble, so much the better.

Edit: Never Mind Mark-- got it. For others interested: L- 9 5/16", W- 5 1/16", H- 8 15/16".
Thanks again Mark.

Direct drop in? none. The 75/25 might come close to fitting but the holding system will still need to be modified.

Hey MarkyMark,
Thanks to your Optima Yellow Top thread, I decided to try using the D51R battery as well. To mod the tray, I used a wire cutter, and easily snipped the excess plastic off the stock battery tray. Although the D51R is about an inch wider, it dropped right in. As a matter of fact, I still had about 1/2" room to spare (with a K&N SRI installed). The only issue I had was that the posts on the D51R are of a smaller diameter than the OEM battery posts. I had to shim the posts with sheet metal in order to get a secure fit with the clamps.
Thanks for sharing your idea and info,
-macbuddy-

Just got my yellowtop put in today. So awesome. And maybe its just me but the car seems to be running a little differnt. The exhaust sounds deeper and i'm getting better fuel economy today. Suposedly there is a relearning phase on the ECU after you disconnect the battery. Maybe thats it. My lights don't flicker. But i have HIDs so they didn't flicker anyway. But i love the battery. Looks nice in there too.
