Product Description
This is a Reverse Position Terminal Battery. What that means is that when looking at the front of the battery, the Positive terminal is on the right side instead of the left side. If you need this size battery but with the regular terminal positions, then look at the Optima 34 battery #8002002. It is the same battery as this one, but with the regular terminal positions.

 Great battery, but can't fit car. April 20, 2009
sweetsop (Plantation, Florida)

Got this today, but it can't fit the car, posts are too far in for cables. Amazon said it fits the 2004 Suzuki XL7, but it doesn't. I would have to make some modifications to the cables, which I might or might not do. Thinking of ordering the D35 yellow top from Blue Grass. I can tell from the picture of the D35 that the posts are closer to the edge, which means it will fit my ride. I'm very scared of Amazon's packaging. I got real lucky as there was no damage. If I buy the deep cycle D35, I'll put up the one I have for sale on Craig's List, because I know Amazon is not going to do an exchange.
Good battery June 13, 2009
Wojciech Kozakiewicz
At first the price of the battery might be a little to high, but to me it seems this battery has storage capacity of two regular or OEM batteries. Usually on my OEM battey when it was new I could play music in my car for about three hours before it was almost dead or bearly started the car. The OPTIMA went over six hours and the car started with no problems.
From now on its OPTIMA for me.
Recommended upgrade for smart fortwo July 14, 2009
Victor A. Wedge (Panama City, Florida)
I've had my Optima 34R installed in my 2008 smart fortwo for three months, in anticipation of upgrading my sound system. That upgrade has since been made. With the AC on full, stereo pumping, headlights and everything drawing current ... no headlight flicker, and Scangauge II indicated voltage rarely drops below 13V. Startup is solid.
Recently visited smart for my 10K scheduled maintenance. The OEM battery was to be replaced since smart had decided it didn't have the gusto for the car. They told me I'd miss out on the free upgrade, said I already had the best battery available.
Three months isn't long enough to say if the battery will live up to longevity claims. But, it is a perfect drop in replacement for the OEM smart fortwo battery.

I have one in my cadillac and one in my suburban they are great and never let me down. No Acid to leak all over you car.
DONT BUY ONLINE GO TO A AUTHORIZED DEALER
All optimas come with a 2-3yr warranty. YOU WILL NOT GET IT ONLINE
And its cheaper at the store
Works great in my Sienna September 25, 2009

I got this battery at Advanced Auto because I have two YellowTops as aux. batteries for camping etc. They installed the battery at the store and I noticed everything was smooth until the positive terminal was installed. At that point the installer had to sort of reshape the positive lead (not the clamp itself) to reach in a bit farther (as others have noted here). But he did this and all has been fine. I got it at Advanced because, while $20 more, return would not be an issue and they gave me $12 for the old battery and did that installation (10 minutes max). All-in-all very satisfied with the battery and Advanced.
