I have nothing but gell batteries (except in the new Dodge). The red top I put in my Amigo (now my son's) is still doing great after 8 years!

The reason why I don't need the height adapter on mine may be that the rods for securing the battery are tall and one has worn a hole through some of the hood insulation. They're longer than necessary and the threads go down far enough on the rods that I don't need the adapter. Maybe at some point something else was in there and the bracket I have isn't stock.
P.S.- Someone brought this up before, but I'll reiterate - get one of those things you can plug into a cigarette lighter and you won't lose station presets when you fiddle with batteries. Just snap on a 9V battery and plug it into the lighter port.

Not sure the 9v battery trick will work since the lighter is off when the car is off. With the key on, there might be too large a load. Blue and Yellow top Optima's are the SAME deep cycle battery (when comparing cca, etc) with different terminals.
