Just planning ahead here, my battery is about two years old so most likely in the next year or so it'll be time for a new one. Am looking for size/type for 95 GT and would like to go with a Optima only their site says there's no battery for this year/model. I'm sure people are using these but which one? I'm thinking Red Top 800U Red 34/78 but would like some imput from others on this.

Thanks

IIRC we use "group 58" batteries on our cars. Very small. The sticker on the battery will tell you for sure.

I run two of there SC34A's. One is under the hood and the other is in the trunk. I had to do a bit of modifying to the battery tray to make it fit under the stock hood though.

According to Optima:

The correct battery is the Red 34 or Yellow D34. It has been reported that
there may be a height issue. If this is the case, the Red 25, Red 75/25, or
Yellow D75/25 will also work.
