Does anyone know what type of battery may fit in the stock location of a 95' 240sx? I'm about to buy 2 batteries and I need to figure out what size battery will fit in there, because I unfortunately dont have the car right now(buying it tomorrow). So does anyone know the dimensions or the model number of the Optima that will fit in the stock location?

Thanks

 

the battery tray size is 7 inches wide 10.5 inches long and the battery i have in mine is 9 inches tall at the top of the post... any optima battery should fit in that location... just take a tape measure and make sure... i have seen them in there and i think the model number was the 850u... not totally sure on it but i think that was it....

 

Are those exact dimensions or just estimatments(sp?)?

 

Part #SC34U. I have it in my 90 & fits fine( MAny run them in their 240's of different years.
It's the standard Optima you can buy at AZ, discount, ect..

 

Yea I have a Red Top Optima in my 95 and it fits I just had to flip the tie down over...

 

Are the optima batteries really alot more powerful, basically I guess I'm wondering if they are worth the little more money that they are?

 

the measurements are as close as my tape measure will get me... so i would say they are exact... as far as the optima being that much better... it is a dry cell battery... which gives you the ability to mount it in any way... laying on its side upside down if that were possible... a lot of people use them when they relocate the battery into the trunk for that reason... nothing to spill in the car...
