Anyone using an Exide Orbital and experienced the install? I realize pretty straight forward to change a battery LOL, but thinking of ordering one for my 94 LT1. Is clearance going to be an issue as I have an aftermarket Ram Air hood and seems to ride lower than the normal hood on the underside. Comments welcome, I want to order ASAP or find a better alternative. According to Exide the 75DT is the appropriate size...Thanks.

 

TTT - Anyone?

 

Isn't this essentially a rebadged Optima? If it is I've had no problem with mine. It probably isn't worth the extra cash for most people. I had a local store that was selling them at a reasonable price and I figured the loss of a few pounds and the low resistance for my amps couldn't hurt.

 

It's similar technology, but it's more along the lines of how does one fit ... the Optima is more expensive, and the money is not the issue. It's useability and fit on the car. I've heard many problems with the Optima's and warranty issues with many shops that have decided to stop retailing Otima's in general.
