[QUOTE="TigTorch, post: 1098639, member: 17432"] I'm quite sure they fit the same: you can get a blue top with a gray or black case. Black case= high amp. Gray case= deep cycle. (I own a Blue top gray case.) Heres the deal in my humble opinion. The Optimas are good batterys but they are sensitive to damage and rough handling. If your tray is banging into the side of the battery case or putting concentrated pressure on the top or bottom you are gonna kill a cell or cause a short. You begin to piece togeather the clues as you read articles over and over again where either a guy has nothing but good luck and respect for the battery or is "on his third or fourth of the POS's". It doen't seem to be random quality issues, its vehicle specific. I have a hand built rubber cushioned tray and fitted top strap. Have never had a problem. [/QUOTE]
