Anyone ever install a Optima 34R battery in their Z? Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

I want to know this also. Everyone seems to be getting Yellow tops, but like you I want the Red Top 34R. Just not sure if fits the Z.

I too am interested in a new battery. I don't know what an "optima" battery is, but I am running so much electronic stuff in my car that I think I have pretty much killed my stock battery. It has been recharged so many times I think it has seen much better days.

I am looking for the most powerful battery there is (as far as CC amps). Does anyone have any suggestions on what kind and where to find it?

Thanks!

The yellow top optimas will support large ampere drains with no damage to the battery. Typical lead acid batteries can only be sucked dry once or twice before sustaining enough physical internal damage to stunt total capacity. The yellow tops (purportedly) will allow complete drain and charge cycles with little effect on total capacity. I'm doing an audio overhaul on the car right now, and Nazar has suggested that I do the yellowtop. I haven't yet, but expect to pay around 160 or so to get one.

In my previous car I had ~ 2000watts worth of stereo system. I ran a yellow top with no problems. If you want to buy the best batery and money isn't a problem go with an optima.

Yellow top, the way to go. Lighter than the OEM also.
