Will an Optima D34 battery fit an 04 Bigfoot?

[srfnson]

Replacing the battery in my Bigfoot and would like to go with Optima but can't find any previous discussions on this topic....

Anyone know if the yellow top D34 will fit in the battery tray?

Any other recommendations....

Thanks

The 34 is too big for your battery tray. The only Optima that will fit is the yellow top 51. I have been looking at batteries lately for my 04 Conquest and I looked at this one, but don't like the low CCA it has. The battery with the highest CCAs I have found so far is an Autozone Gold (?) in a group 51 @ I believe was 625 CCAs @ 32 degrees.

Thanks for that info!

I ended up going with a Motomaster 51R Eliminator Ultra Flat Plate AGM battery at Canadian Tire here in Canada. It's rated at 530CCA at 0°C and 440CCA at -18°C with a full 5 year replacement warranty. Not a bad deal for $175ish including $15 recycling fee.
