Optima Battery Mounting

[Big MAK]

Anyone have or know of a good bracket or mounting hardware for the Optima batteries when used in stock battery location? I'm running Optime red tops. They are slightly undersized for the stock battery box; so I have them shimmed with some rubber pieces but would like a nicer solution.

Just Google "Optima Battery Box"... there is a whole industry out there making custome boxes and hold downs for Optima batteries.

sometimes Autozone has the little plastic pieces that you need to retrofit the smaller batteries into the Ram trucks, I had the same problem today when swapping batteries



hope this helps

BigMak, I have the Optima red tops and was able to use the factory bracket to hold the bottom of the battery by angling it a bit and tightening. Been that way for 33k miles and no problems so far. fwiw
