    That's exactly what mine looks like. Didn't get it off the website, the guy at the battery shop near me gave it to me for free. But you should be good to go with that one.

    Did you check acid level?
    If it's low you need to add distilled water.
    I am still using my 8 years old original battery. All it needed was little distilled water

    Billies 5100's front set to 1.75 plus 1/4 taco lean spacer. Rears Billies plus AAL for a 2" leaf. 265/75/16 BGF's. Double din Kenwood stereo w/bluetooth and steering wheel controls and JBL speakers front & rear. Heavy duty battery. Billet grill blacked out. K&N air filter and MBRP cat-back. Just tuned it up new plugs and new front brake pads. Steel powered coated tailgate cap. Billet Grill painted black & factory roof racks. Oh new head lights thanks to toyota.
    Not a big fan of the Red top battery. IMO if you spending in the $200 range the sears diehard platinum is one of the best battery's on the market. However if you keep any battery fully charged it will be just fine. I had a auto zone gold battery in my vette for 6 yrs. When the car is in storage I used a 2 amp charger to keep the battery fully charged.

    This list is spot on IMO. I have experience with the Deca and Odyssey.

    Did your adapter click onto the bottom of the battery ?

    My odyssey just sits on top of it. Didn't click in. If I remember correctly it sits nicely on top of it (same surface area) but doesn't click in or anything.

    Thought i would post this up here too...

    Our family business sells agricultural farm equipment that operates in the toughest conditions - 100+ F summers, excessive vibration, and heavy dirt and dust. No we don't have extremely cold winters in Central California.

    Why mention that? We are also an Interstate Battery Dealer. We have had very good customer service from the local distribution warehouse. The batteries themselves have held up to demanding applications such as tractor use. I use them in our Mercedes Benz Diesel Powered Freightliner, our F-450 dually, our Hyster Forklift, our John Deere Gator, and all our personal vehicles.

    I would suggest going with a MTP-27F battery. Mega Tron Plus - good reserve capacity, good CCA. 6-year pro-rated warranty.

    If anyone needs a good price on a battery local to Modesto, CA...let me know :).

    The one from Optima had a tab on each long side that clip onto the lower area of the battery.
