RE: {Chrysler 300} battery

The bigger battery won’t fit the hold down. Optima makes a good battery that will not tolerate overcharging which nearly all available regulators today do. I would go to Costco for a discounted Interstate flooded battery or Walmart.

My opinion. Others may vary. However I have 9 cars for a long time and have learned the hard way.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} battery

I am going to pick up an Optima Battery.

The stock unit a 27-MB-70 was 12"L x 6.75"W x 8"H.

Optima has two batteries:

The redtop 25 has 720 CCA and is closest on width and height to the original.
The redtop 34 has 800 CCA and is a little wider than the original which may mean the cross over hold down may not fit.

Anyone have any experience with either battery both in terms of fit or function?

James
