I highly recommend the Optima! Great battery and will not spill. I have one in my camper and it runs all night with no problems. It is almost overkill for a vehicle. They are standard size so you sho

Bob and List, OEM batteries are not always bad. The _original_ battery on my 1990 Miata just gave up this year. Yes, that's 14 years in service! It was a Panasonic AGM (absorbed/absorption glass mat)

I don't think you would have a problem fitting an Optima in the stock brackets. We have one in our BJ7 and it has done well by us for the past 4 years or so. I think they are good batteries for speci
