Smallest Optima Yellow top??

[mr Tibbs 10+ year member]

I need a new battery for my car like 2 months ago. Mine is beyond dead so I'm going to get a new one tomorrow. My car is a 2002 Saturn SC2 and Optima no longer makes a small enough battery for my car. I know some of you Honda Civic guys are in the same boat so what size battery did you get? I'm aware that more than likely I will have to modify my battery tray, but I am prepared to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

They no longer make a Group 50 or whatever that Honda/Acura size was?

I'd try Kinetik as well...or put a tiny one up front and put a bigger one in the rear.

they just started making the 51's again. I just picked mine up from interstate batteries today.

not all places know about it, but if you ask, they can order it for you.

They have started production of the D51 again for the Civic. It's a good battery.

Optima Yellow top 75/25 is on the way. The D51 series is too tall for my application, so it looks like this was the next best option. Thanks for the help guys!
