I've seen some misinformation here..... Optimas are IMHO the best batteries..
If you have a big stereo system and you play it a lot w/ the engine off, you want a deep cycle. That is a yellow top. It is not available in reversed terminals as we need, so you'll have to cross and/or stretch the wires.
If you do not have a big system or don't use it w/o the motor running, then you can get the regular Optima automotive battery. This is what I got. Their regular automotive batteries are called the "red top." However, if you want an automotive battery with reversed terminals, it's an "orange top." That's right, an orange top is nothing but a regular red top (automotive, NOT deep cycle) with reversed terminals.
The correct direct replacement model for our cars is the 800R Orange Top.

Optima Blue Tops are exactly the same as the Red or Yellow Tops. You can get a normal (Red Top specs) Blue Top or a deep cycle Blue Top (Yellow Top specs).
Like Andi said make sure you get the Optima with the right terminals.
If you want to install a big stereo you might consider an Optima with dual terminals, that way you can leave the stock wiring intact and use the extra terminals for the stereo and alarm stuff.

As a dealer for Optima I can tell you that you can special order any one of the batteries they make in reverse post design.
I currently have a Blue Top Optima in my car and have had it for the time I have owned my Supra. (about 2 years)
I previously used a yellow top for my Z-71 and had that for about 5 years with a HUGE system installed. The guy who owns the truck now STILL has that same Optima installed in it. (About 7 years of use)
Hello everyone I got a PHR dual fan harness and I would like to know how can I hook it up on my Aem v2 and which pinout it's going to be I need you guy help
My 94TT is BPU+ and I just got a Haltech Elite 2500 to go standalone. Sticking with stock fuel (upgraded injectors though) for now, and would like to drop in a fuel-pressure sensor somewhere. Is there any easy spot to do that ? Maybe the banjo/union bolt on the existing fuel-pressure...
