Battery Brand Recommendations? C70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be driven on  Thu Jan 15 12:21 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Sorry for the late response
1. Model is Optima SC34A (red top).
2. 95%, the tray fits 100%.
3. The biggest problem was with terminals. Volvo's connectors are L shaped and battery terminals were too far from the edge for the connectors to reach. I could have simply replaced the connectors but instead I decided to replace the connectors and cables. I upgraded the cables to 2ga (or maybe 1ga?), far thicker then OEM, and the biggest hassle was replacing the positive cable to the starter. Overall it took me 2 hours.
4. CCA is 800. Did I say 950? Sorry, my mistake.
5. From an Interstate dealer two years ago. Paid around $120.
6. It had a sticker with a date of manufacture.
