does anybody know which optima battery model will best "fit" in a 2011 fit?
i am going to replace my battery soon.

thanks

 

My '09 Sport battery is dying. O'Reilly Auto Parts (here) can get a Yellow top 151R that is a drop in replacement for $190 USD. OUCH!! I have red tops in a couple of my other vehicles but it's not available for this size, only Yellow top. AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat Technology is good but they are made in Mexico. ) My Honda dealer has a "Honda" labeled battery (delivered by Interstate for $102. You can shoe horn in a 51 size but it requires trimming etc.

 

I thought they are selling the same original battery that came with the car...

 

just get the interstate megatron 51r battery. awesome warranty.

 

is that a direct fit ? or do i need to trim something?
thanks

 

ull need to trim the battery tray wall. or just take it out.

 

...Thanks....

 

I've had the Optima Yellowtop in my 2007 Fit for over 5 years now, and it is working well. Installation was fairly smooth, but I did need to cut away part of the plastic battery tray in order to get it in.

 

Whats the model of optima yellowtop? If i buy this i probably take out the tray
I had braille before. I bought the lightest, but it went dead after 1\2 year of normal daily drive use
Thanks

 

I'm using the model D51R.

 

... thanks...
